Leadership and Diversity Lab
Last week, we had the immense pleasure of celebrating the closing day of the inter-university certificate: 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐄𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐎𝐫𝐠𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 : 𝐅𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐁𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐭. It was an inspiring way to conclude the program, as participants presented their final projects and celebrated the successful completion of this enriching learning journey. A special highlight of the day was the thought-provoking keynote of Fatima Zibouh, PhD 💫 on the future of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI), which challenged us to reflect on where the field is heading and the role we all have to play. A heartfelt thank you to all the evaluators, mentors, academics, and practitioners who contributed their expertise and enthusiasm throughout the programme. This certificate is truly a collective achievement! |

CEBRIG members participate in the Business & Society Research Seminar 2026
On June 23-24, 10 CEBRIG members participated to the Business & Society Research Seminar in Ghent, a research seminar specifically designed for PhD students and early-career scholars conducting research in various research fields related to Business and Society. The theme of this year’s seminar was « Responsibility under Pressure: Sustainability & Inclusion in Times of Polarization and Backlash ». Several PhD students from CEBRIG presented their research projects and received constructive feedback. Participants also attended two inspiring keynote presentations by Prof. Patrizia Zanoni (Hasselt University, Belgium) and Prof. Sankar Sen (The City University of New York, USA). More information about the program of the Business & Society research seminar can be found here: BSS2026 Programme |
The first Impact Summit organized by the Solvay Impact Institute, with the help of CEBRIG
It brought together more than 150 participants, over 50 speakers, researchers, entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, students, and practitioners around one common ambition: creating impact that is measurable, scalable, and sustainable. Throughout the day, we explored how impact can be measured, financed, priced, and embedded into policy. We challenged established assumptions and discussed some of the most pressing questions facing our societies and organizations:
❓ Who drives impact?
❓ Who pays for sustainability?
❓ Can purpose and profit reinforce each other?
❓ Is impact driven by desire, by design, or by disaster?
❓ How do we reconcile People, Planet, and Prosperity?
❓ How can we transform sustainability from a cost into a source of value creation?
