PRiME Competition 2019
We brought the vision and spirit of the global Principles for Responsible Management Education into our local school-wide initiative aiming to build awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals - the School of Management PRiME Competition!
The PRiME Competition was launched in the 2018-2019 academic year. Students from various undergraduate and graduate School of Management programs submitted 25 projects. Each project included a written paper and SDGs-executive summary required for the first round, followed by a poster presentation at the PRiME event on May 1st, 2019.

COMMUNITY ABOUT PRiME
In the survey conducted after the event, 67% of respondents indicated that this competition helped them to develop a better understanding of Sustainable Development Goals. “Building a network with other like-minded students who are willing to do extensive research and promote sustainability�, “discussions with students and other participants� were mentioned among valuable benefits.
My participation in this competition has definitely prepared me for the next phase of my career after graduation. I have grown not only in my studies in the MBA program, but also in partnership with my community, particularly within the sharing economy framework.
It was wonderful to share what I am passionate about with others.
Petra Rickertsen,
Business Administration Major
