    Interested in the processes and practices of organising, managing and strategising for responsibility and sustainability challenges?

    Amid the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution, process- and practice-based approaches have increasingly been mobilised to advance the study of responsibility and sustainability challenges. This has led to a proliferation of fast-growing research streams (including practice-based studies of grand challenges, responsible management-as-practice, etc).

    Join us in London for an international research workshop that brings scholars together across streams and career stages to take stock, build connections, and explore new avenues for practice-based and process research in this area. For OMT researchers, the workshop offers an opportunity to meet and connect with researchers from other communities who share interests in process, practice, sustainability, and responsibility. Activities include keynote sessions, cross-stream exploration of research opportunities, and research clinics for advancing participants' ideas and work in progress.
