Sustainable development research allows individuals to reflect on their own actions by considering both current and future social and environmental impacts from a global perspective.
The IE Sustainability Office, in partnership with the IE Research Office, launched a program of awards to foster and celebrate our faculty’s efforts to support those who facilitate sustainable outcomes for people and the planet.
The awards are granted to academic and applied research produced by IE University faculty that foster sustainable impact in these two categories:
Two €5,000 awards will be granted to academic papers that have already been accepted by a journal in the IE High-Interest Journals Lists, or applied research projects that have already gone through the first filter of the EU funding selection process.
Five €2,000 awards will be granted to research projects in the process of being submitted to a journal in the IE High-Interest Journals Lists, or applied research projects that are in the final phases of development.
The IE Foundation research centers focus on pursuing economic and societal development through investigation initiatives. Spanning a range of fields, these research centers are dedicated to promoting diversity and multidisciplinary knowledge. They include the China Center, the Africa Center, the Saudi-Spanish Center for Islamic Economics and Finance (SCIEF), the IE University Center for Diversity in Global Management and more.
Research plays a critical role at IE University. As a world-class institution, our contribution to this positive change must consider generational knowledge as a lever for sustainable impact. This includes both academic research and applied research.
IE University, from the IE Foundation and IE Law School, has partnered with the Elecnor Foundation in the creation of the IE-Elecnor Observatory on Sustainable Compliance Cultures.
This Observatory responds to the IE Foundation and IE University’ s mission of generating cutting-edge knowledge, relying on the experience of the IE Foundation and the excellence of the IE faculty.
