IPW2018 Hackathon: Business Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility International Project Week 2018 at Metropolia UAS Business School, Helsinki Finland May 14-18, 2018
We have a great pleasure in inviting you and your colleagues to participate in IPW2018 Hackathon at Metropolia Business School in Helsinki Finland on May 14-18, 2018. The theme of this year’s IPW is Business Ethics & Corporate Social Responsibility with an international focus and with a multidisciplinary approach!
Approach to IPW Business Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility: Real Client Case
This year you will get to bring in your expertise by
1) giving a 90-minute lecture on your field of expertise in parallel sessions for groups of students - twice.
2) coaching a student group in solving a real-life business case making sure that your areas of expertise will also be considered in the final solution. Here you get to work together with 1-2 other visiting lecturers, each of you representing a different view on business ethics and corporate social responsibility
The ILOs (Intended Learning Outcomes) for the students are to
● utilise previous learning and course lessons together with the expertise of the visiting lecturers to solve ethical and corporate social responsibility cases
● take initiative to debate current ethical and social responsibility dilemmas and deliver solutions to them.
● work together in multicultural teams to produce a unified approach to corporate social responsibility cases that revolve around working in an international multicultural environment.
● utilise a multidisciplinary approach to tackling and solving ethical and corporate social responsibility dilemmas.
● produce a team-based poster of the week’s learnings and key insights and present them to an audience of professors and peers.

Other practicalities:
Accommodation Helsinki is a relatively small capital city and the public transportation system is excellent, so you have many hotel options to choose from. The prices for a single room in the capital region range from 70 € up to 200 € and beyond per night.
Each participant should make his own hotel reservation. A list of suggestions is available here (Options near the central railway station in Helsinki and Kamppi) as well as at the My Helsinki site
Erasmus The week is organized within the framework of Erasmus+. Please consult your international office whether it is possible for you to fund the participation through Erasmus+ Teacher Exchange.
