Program for the EurOMA Sustainability Forum 2023

The EurOMA Sustainability Forum 2023 combines a range of session formats, including research paper presentations, platforms to discuss innovative teaching cases, and incubator sessions. It will be a fully online event for which, as in previous years, the Scoocs platform will be used. To avoid blocking a full two days in front of the computer and to ensure that participation is as convenient as possible for all attendees, we will stretch the Forum to 4 half days.

Note: All times refer to Central European Time
