What is RME Week?
The objective of Responsible Management Education (RME) Week is to advance responsible management education and its impact worldwide through convening and knowledge exchange.
This year, the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME), the Responsible Research in Business and Management (RRBM) Network, the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD), the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), and the Africa Academy of Management (AFAM) have teamed up for a week of convening focused on transforming education and research in business and management schools — while also creating a community of practice for collaboration and shared learning.
This week will be hosted by the Onsi Sawiris School of Business at The American University in Cairo, Egypt, from 28 June to 1 July 2026.
“RME Week 2026 will empower participants with the knowledge, networks, and tools to act as catalysts for sustainable transformation in business and management education.”
