The intensive in-site week
Discover what makes our Accounting for Sustainability Summer School a unique learning experience. From the core topics to the daily activities, get ready for a full immersion in sustainability.
The Accounting for Sustainability Summer School focuses on three main areas: green sustainability, social sustainability, and governance. Students will gain a solid understanding of sustainability principles and their application in accounting and business practices. Key skills include sustainability reporting, ESG analysis, data-driven decision-making, knowledge management, and collaborative problem-solving. Through interactive sessions, case studies, and group projects, participants will also develop practical skills, intercultural teamwork, critical thinking, and professional networking, preparing them for careers as accountants, auditors, or managers in sustainability-focused organizations.
The Accounting for Sustainability Summer School is primarily aimed at Master’s and PhD students in accounting, management accounting, organizational studies, and business or management programs. The programme is also open to instructors and faculty who wish to participate as learners. Ideal participants are motivated to deepen their understanding of sustainability in accounting, develop practical skills, and engage in collaborative, international learning experiences.
What makes the Accounting for Sustainability Summer School truly unique is its strong emphasis on active, collaborative learning and immersive group experiences. Students do not simply attend lectures; they participate in interactive sessions, real-world case discussions, team projects, and engaging live-on activities such as TBL sessions, yoga, walking tours, music concerts, and boat trips.
Another key advantage is accessibility and affordability: all academic and social activities are free, with students covering only accommodation and meals at a highly discounted rate of €320 for six days, typically supported by the Erasmus scholarship.
The programme’s added value lies in the combination of high-quality academic instruction, practical skills development, international networking, and a vibrant, inclusive environment, preparing students for future careers as accountants, auditors, and managers in sustainability-focused contexts.
A typical day at the Accounting for Sustainability Summer School runs from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. with interactive teaching sessions, including case studies and group activities, complemented by a poolside lunch and coffee breaks. In the evenings, participants gather for shared dinners, fostering networking and informal exchange. The programme also features special activities such as a welcome cocktail in the historic old town of Vieste with stunning sea views and a yoga session to balance learning with relaxation. Throughout the week, students experience a blend of academic, cultural, and social activities in an immersive environment.
