What is GRONEN\u2019s history?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In 2003, GRONEN was inspired at the Seattle Academy of Management Conference, when a group of scholars discussed how we might promote more opportunities for interaction among international scholars working on sustainability issues. Ten years later, the GRONEN association was formalized in Zurich, Switzerland, with the ambitious goal of launching a suite of more diverse and ambitious initiatives. Continuing our evolution, in 2026, GRONEN became a member-based association. This represents an important milestone in the association\u2019s evolution, which now provides greater access for our broader community to participate in GRONEN\u2019s governance.<\/p>\n

Open to scholars of all nationalities, GRONEN has cultivated a network of scholars from more than 100 universities and institutions who have engaged with GRONEN\u2019s initiatives, including its biennial conference, PhD consortium, workshops, and innovative programming created by its reading group, early career team, and teaching team.<\/p>\n
