<br>Workshop 'Competencies for Responsibility'
<br>Wageningen University, Wednesday 24th January 2018
<br>Room C83, Leeuwenborg building, Hollandseweg 1, Wageningen
<br>Organized by: Vincent Blok & Job Timmermans
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>In response to the worldwide focus sustainability, higher education,
<br>governments and companies have engaged in incorporating and institutionalizing
<br>responsibility into their curricula, research practices and business
<br>operations. In the literature, it is assumed that the individual competency
<br>level is of utmost importance, since professionals can be seen as change
<br>agents that take responsibility for a more responsible future. During this
<br>workshop, we bring various experts together that are specialized in the
<br>individual competency for responsibility in different areas, such as education
<br>(dr. Lambrechts), innovation (prof. Randles) and business (prof. van
<br>Liedekerke), and discuss this topic with dedicated students and staff members
<br>from Wageningen University. The workshop will be continued by the PhD defense
<br>by Lisa Ploum, who wrote her thesis on individual competencies for sustainable
<br>entrepreneurship.
