Summer School 2026 in Research Approaches in Sustainability Management and Reporting
Summer School “Research Approaches in Sustainability Management and Reporting” is an advanced program designed as a research-oriented training experience, with a strong focus on research methodology applied to sustainability. Its goal is to provide participants with solid and advanced methodological skills to analyze sustainability challenges in a rigorous and structured way. In a context where Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) issues are becoming increasingly central to organizational strategies and European policies, the program provides tools to design, conduct, and critically evaluate research in sustainability management and reporting. The main focus is on research methods applicable to sustainability and reporting, equipping participants with the tools to explore these disciplines in depth, develop rigorous research designs, and carry out independent and applied research projects. Particular emphasis is placed on both qualitative and quantitative methodologies, as well as empirical and data-driven analysis. The Summer School is co-funded by the European DIGI-ME project (change: previously “funded”), which supports the development of digital skills for sustainable innovation, with a specific focus on their application in research and data analysis.
