Hanken is part of ENGAGE.EU university alliance which organizes Think Tanks for senior researchers and post docs. The next Think Tank will be hosted by WU Vienna University of Economics and Business in March 3-7, 2025.

The topic of the Think Tank will be “Purpose”, and The Think Tank 2025 will bring together researchers from the ENGAGE.EU partner universities who share an interest in research on purpose, and implications for business contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and Societal Grand Challenges. The Think Tank is a perfect place to liaise with your colleagues in our partner universities.

The ENGAGE.EU Think Tank is open to senior and post-doctoral researchers affiliated with the universities of the ENGAGE.EU alliance and who:

  • explore topics related to business organisational purpose,
  • aim to develop their expertise in their field of research,
  • are interested in collaborative and interdisciplinary dialogue,
  • want to engage in a scholarly network which is developing the organisational purpose field.

The research stay will include an extensive academic programme and access to the facilities at WU. Accommodation will be covered by WU. Please contact your institutional coordinator Sirpa Aalto for the details on travel expenses.

The call closes on October 12. Fill out the online application form and submit your CV and list of publications to Hanken’s contact point dr. Sirpa Aalto (Sirpa.aalto@hanken.fi). Successful candidates will be informed in early December.
