Why involving Vlerick’s students?
Students for the Masters in Finance will participate to the World Forum Lille. The forum has been integrated as an integral part of their course on corporate social responsibility. It provides the students with a unique opportunity to learn on sustainable finance, meet and exchange with experts but also other international fellow students on the topic, and directly contribute to the development of sustainable finance through their active contribution.
What will Vlerick’ students have to do and what will be their contribution?
Vlerick students will work in teams. Each team will chose one specific theme related to sustainable finance and do the following:
- Study the theme to come as informed and active participants
- Take an active role in the selected workshop
- Analyse best practices and interview experts
- Provide a critical analysis and reflection on the theme they have selected
