Navigating Turbulent Times with LIGHTS
As a major actor in the European academic landscape, it is important to give voice to ESCP’s expertise and experience on these crucial topics, particularly in this post-election season.
This edition features 76 contributions in English and French, covering critical challenges and opportunities through the lens of our strategic LIGHTS topics: Leadership, Innovation & Entrepreneurship, Geopolitics, Human resource management & human well-being, Technology, and Sustainability.
Contributions are guided by the expertise of participants within the strategic framework of LIGHTS, provide impactful reflections and inspire positive change in Europe and beyond. Together, we can navigate these turbulent times and build a more sustainable and resilient future. This initiative perfectly illustrates the European motto: United in Diversity!
