Normative approaches to Corporate Social Responsibility - PhD Summer School
Rimetea (Transylvania, Romania), August 13-17, 2013

Under the auspices of Babeş-Bolyai University (Cluj, Romania) in association with EDHEC Business School (Lille), the Hoover Chair (Louvain) and CARMAE (Bucharest).

This summerschool is open to PhD students from any discipline (philosophy, law, management,...) and will look into various dimensions of CSR from a normative perspective. It will cross approaches from philosophy and management. The following six professors will be contributing this year:

• Ion Copoeru (Babes-Bolyai University, Romania) - Romanian entrepreneurs and CSR - case studies
• Cristian Ducu (Centre for Advanced Research in Management and Applied Ethics, Bucharest, Romania) - Social responsibility and organizational behaviour
• Anca Gheaus (Sheffield University, UK) - Gender and the Firm
• Geert Demuijnck (EDHEC Business School, France) - Topics in CSR and human rights
• Mikael Petitjean (UCLouvain - Mons, Belgium) - Issues in Finance Ethics
• Axel Gosseries (Hoover Chair, UCLouvain, Belgium) - Firms and the problem of short-termism

The number of students is limited to 20. Besides the advanced seminars on the above mentioned topics, there will be individual tutorials - through peripatetic walks in the beautiful Rimetea countryside - enabling each student to discuss his/her research topic in depth.

Fee, including accomodation and food: 450 Euros per person

Applications by advanced MA students intending to to a PhD will also be considered

By February 10, applicants should send a short mail to Axel Gosseries and Cristian Ducu (cristian.ducu@etica-aplicata.ro) indicating their interest in applying (please use as a subject "Rimetea 2013").

By February 25, we should receive a single PDF file including a two page CV with publication list (if any) and a two page presentation of their PhD project. A clear research question should be stated.
