Mykolas Romeris University
Piotr Prus and I took part in an international conference titled „Shaping Ethics in Academia and Society: Practices in the Baltic Sea Region”. The conference was held on 16-17 October 2017 at Mykolas Romeris University, Vilnius, Lithuania.
The international conference ‘Shaping Ethics in Academia and Society: Practices in the Baltic Sea Region’ aimed to build up a roundtable for sharing best practices and experience in addressing ethical issues within academia and related society and, in the same vein, to contribute to relevant managerial solutions.
The conference topics were:
- Anchoring academic integrity
- Embedding research integrity
- Ethics in cross-sector collaboration
- Role of ethical leadership in an academic setting
- Social responsibility within academia
- Sustainable high education and higher education
- Legal and ethical norms incongruences in academia
- Linkage between academic and professional integrity.
I presented the paper titled „The value system as a starting point of creating a modern company„. The conference also aimed at encompassing the formation of ethical behaviour and anchoring ethical principles in academia as a waypoint in a continuum between family; high school; higher education; research, business and labour market as well as society in general.
Piotr presented his paper connected with sustainable development, environmental protection and democracy in the Baltic See Basin.
Then we could visit historical places in Vilnius.
Some logistics curiosities:
We found the time to go to Kaunas and meet my friend dr. Aurelija Kustienė from Vytautas Magnus University.
