Qatar University (QU) has announced that it will host the CSR Exhibition and Conference in March 2017 as part of a memorandum of understanding that the organisation has signed with Qatar CSR network.
The educational event is the “first of its kind” in Qatar and aims to review the different experiences of business leaders in order to raise students’ awareness through the creation of a realistic engagement with representatives of the public and private sectors, QU has said in a press statement.
A CSR conference will be held on the sidelines of the exhibition and include workshops tackling major issues such as social responsibility within the framework of Qatar National Vision 2030, the partnership between the public and private sectors, and the global standard ISO 26000. The conference will also deal with related topics such as the social responsibility of QU, the CSR initiative of Harvard University and the CSR Person of the Year.
The organising committee of the exhibition and conference is counting on the added value that will be achieved through the interaction between the students and leaders of multinational companies and various corporations and agencies from the private and public sectors who will attend the event.
