Objectives

• To investigate how best to involve potential users of research relevant to CSR in making research conducted across the EU more relevant to them and more accessible to them
• To build sustainable relationships between potential users of research and the European research community

Throughout 2005, 2006 and 2007 a series of multi-stakeholder workshops will bring together senior practitioners and academics in CSR in facilitated small working groups. The aim is to identify needs in regards to CSR knowledge, to facilitate collaboration on new knowledge creation, and to explore means of effective communication to stakeholders.

So far five workshops in a series of eight have been held:

Enhancing Knowledge and Research on CSR in Europe, Brussels, Belgium, 19 July 2005.
Participants focused on Identifying European CSR Research Priorities and means of collaboration. Participants from the academic research, business, policymakers and civil society groups across Europe identified knowledge needs and research priorities as well as means for enhancing collaboration.
