VIZJA University

VIZJA University is a member of CEEMAN (Central and East European Management Development association) – an international association founded in 1993 with a focus on management development to accelerate the quality of management education in Central and Eastern Europe. Years later, it is a global network of organisations committed to quality education and innovation in management. In pursuit of professional excellence, CEEMAN supports the quality of management development and change processes by promoting education, research, consultancy and information. The association’s comprehensive approach to management encourages innovation, creativity and appreciation of cultural values. CEEMAN offers IQA accreditation to educational institutions that meet the established standards.

VIZJA University is also a member of PRME (Principles for Responsible Management Education), a United Nations-backed platformed established in 2007. Its main objective is to spread the principles of responsible management education by making sustainability standards more relevant in higher education institutions around the world.

With more than 650 members worldwide, PRME has become the largest organised network linking the United Nations with management-related higher education institutions. PRME follows its Six Principles, which commit business schools to equipping future leaders with the skills needed to reconcile economic and sustainable development goals. These principles are:

• developing the capabilities of students to be future generators of sustainable value for business and society at large and to work for an inclusive and sustainable global economy;
• incorporating into academic activities, curricula and organisational practices the values of global social responsibility as portrayed in international initiatives such as the United Nations Global Compact;
• creating educational frameworks, materials, processes and environments that enable effective learning experiences for responsible leadership;
• engaging in conceptual and empirical research that advances our understanding about the role, dynamics and impact of corporations in the creation of sustainable social, environmental and economic value;
• interacting with managers of business corporations to extend our knowledge of their challenges in meeting social and environmental responsibilities and to explore jointly effective approaches to meeting these challenges;
• facilitating and supporting dialog and debate among educators, students, business, government, consumers, media, civil society organisations, and other interested groups and stakeholders on critical issues related to global social responsibility and sustainability.
