The 2025 PRME Chapter UK & Ireland Conference will take place on Wednesday 18 and Thursday 19 June 2025 at Queen's Business School, Belfast, Northern Ireland. 

 

The conference theme is 'Partnering for Progress: Enhancing Collaboration, Building Communities, and Navigating Conflict to Accelerate Agenda 2030'.

The theme reflects the pivotal role business schools play within society, locally, nationally, and globally. As emphasised by the fifth Principle of PRME (Partner) and UN SDG 17, advancing the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and achieving environmental, social, and economic sustainability requires collegiality, collaboration, and creativity.
