PRME – Principles for Responsible Management Education
The Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Rijeka, became a member of the United Nations initiative launched in 2007 under the name Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME).
PRME was created as a platform to raise awareness of sustainability among educational institutions worldwide, especially with the aim of developing awareness among business economics students about the importance of introducing changes in this area.
By incorporating the principles of this initiative into teaching and research programmes, as well as socially relevant activities, institutions such as business schools and faculties of business economics educate future leaders by developing skills that support economic development, sustainability of the local and wider community, and the inclusion of its stakeholders.
