As part of ARCS’ mission to foster first-rate research and build the community of scholars in this domain, we hold an annual research conference designed to bring together scholars interested in corporate sustainability strategy and management. The inaugural conference was held in 2009, hosted by the Erb Institute for Global Sustainable Enterprise at the University of Michigan. The conference rotates annually among ARCS members.

The PhD Sustainability Academy, co-hosted by the Ivey Business School and ARCS, convenes 15 promising PhD students and 6 senior researchers. Each student receives intensive feedback on their research project. The participants and faculty members represent a range of management disciplines and methodologies. This Academy represents one of the foremost learning and networking events for students researching social and environmental issues.

As a new initiative to mark its 10^th anniversary, ARCS is now accepting proposals for focused workshops designed to advance progress on key sustainability issues.
