Making learning work for the ecological transition: MBS students contribute to the Account4GreenEco project
A few months ago, MBS announced its participation in the Account4GreenEco project, co-funded by the European Union’s Erasmus+ programme. Five students had the opportunity to take part in the first stage of this project, which aims to create a platform for learning about environmental accounting in order to support the ecological transition of the European Union’s economy.
Jade Ligneres, Pauline Alleaume, Pinella Nehme, Sabah Znassi and Veselin Valkanov travelled to the Università di Trento (Italy) to join Dr Juliette Senn, the project leader at MBS, and 16 other students in the first workshops.
The trip was organised around two key moments. Firstly, the students were able to test the first of the three modules that will make up the platform in order to improve their knowledge in the area of sustainable development reporting. The group then took part in seminars led by world experts in sustainable development accounting and research, including Professor Lee Parker (University of Glasgow), Professor Stefan Schaltegger (Leuphana Universität Lüneburg) and Professor Carlos Larrinaga (Universidad de Burgos).
The next stage will take place at the beginning of the academic year 2024, at Leuphana Universität Lüneburg (Germany), where the next selected participants will test the second phase of the platform’s development.
