A brief description of the faculty sustainability research program:
Sustainability as a research topic has been in focus at our university for years, so it was not without precedent when we decided in 2021 to establish the Centre of Excellence for Sustainability Impacts in Business and Society (CESIBUS). In line with BBU’s mission, CESIBUS works to create and transfer knowledge on the topic of sustainability and responsibility. As part of its activities, it brings together the research work within the university related to the topic, publishes its results, and actively applies for participation in new local and international academic research.
