Sustainability collaboration

A joint research conference between Lancaster University Management School, UK and Sunway Business School, Malaysia has sown the seeds of future collaboration and meaningful impact in sustainability research. The Collaborating Together conference aimed to showcase staff research, encourage and strengthen research collaborations between the Schools, provide a platform to share ongoing research and identify areas for future joint research-funded initiatives.
