Registration Open! Navigating the Turbulence: Join Us for the PRME UK & Ireland 2026 Conference at the University of Bath

We are delighted to announce that registration and the call for contributions are now open for the PRME UK & Ireland Chapter 12th Annual Conference and Doctoral Colloquium.

Taking place from 23 to 26 June 2026, we will be gathering at the University of Bath School of Management, set within the beautiful UNESCO World Heritage city of Bath. This year’s theme, 'Responsibly Navigating the Turbulent Business World', feels more pertinent than ever.

In an era defined by economic uncertainty, rapid technological disruption, and the urgent realities of climate change, the role of responsible management education has shifted from a 'nice to have' to an absolute necessity. Our 2026 conference aims to be a vital platform for educators, researchers, and practitioners to share the strategies and innovations that will help businesses and business schools navigate these global challenges with integrity.

Get Involved: Call for Contributions

A PRME conference is only as strong as the community that builds it. We invite you to get involved by submitting your work and sharing your insights. Whether you are an experienced academic, a PhD student, or a practitioner, there is a place for your voice.

We are currently welcoming abstracts and proposals for:

• Conference Papers: Share your latest research on responsible management and the SDGs.

• Interactive Workshops: Lead a session that provides practical tools or innovative pedagogical approaches.

• Panel Proposals: Bring together diverse perspectives to discuss the most pressing ethical dilemmas in business today.

  
  

The conference provides a supportive and collaborative environment to receive feedback on your ideas and to network with like-minded colleagues who are committed to transforming management education.

For Our Doctoral Community

The conference will kick off on 23 June 2026 with our Doctoral Colloquium. This is a dedicated space for PhD students to present their emerging research, engage with senior scholars, and build a lasting network of peers. If you are a doctoral researcher working within the realms of sustainability, ethics, or responsible business, we highly encourage you to submit your work.
