PRME Chapter UK & Ireland Conference 2025
Queen’s Business School was delighted to host the PRME Chapter UK & Ireland Annual Conference and Doctoral Colloquium from 17 to 19 June 2025.
In addition to being a highlight within the PRME calendar, it represented an important milestone as it was the first time the event had been held on the island of Ireland. The conference attracted over 130 delegates from across the UK, Ireland, and beyond.
In line with PRME’s fifth Principle, Partnership, and the United Nations’ 17th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), “Partnerships for the Goals,” the conference theme, “Partnering for Progress: Enhancing Collaboration, Building Communities, and Navigating Conflict to Accelerate Agenda 2030” acknowledged the transformative power of partnerships in achieving environmental, social, and economic sustainability.
The conference featured over 50 papers and workshops, four keynote addresses, and three panel discussions with highly regarded speakers from academia, as well as the private, public, and voluntary/third sectors. In addition, the conference dinner, which was sponsored by the Business School, included a fireside chat with leading figures within the global PRME community, namely Prof. Carole Parks (University of Winchester) and Prof. Shiela Killian (University of Limerick).
