FHWien der WKW has been signatory to the “Principles for Responsible Management Education” (PRME) initiative since 2015. Initiated by the UN Global Compact, PRME aims to emphasize the central role of universities in promoting sustainable development in business and society.

Principles for Responsible Management Education
Participating universities commit to aligning their core competencies – teaching and research – as well as their operations and strategies with seven core principles. These include integrating responsible management concepts and practices into curricula and pedagogy, or engaging with people from business, government, civil society and academia to advance responsible and accountable management education and practice.
FHWien der WKW is an active participant in the work of the PRME D-A-CH Chapter and has been a track leader and/or presenter at the annual Responsible Management Education Research (RMER) conference. Four “Sharing Information on Progress” (SIP) reports were submitted in 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2023.
