Dear members of the CATÓLICA-LISBON community,
This week, and in coming months, our School continues to bring knowledge and learning to address strategic issues facing Portugal and our Planet.
Our knowledge conference, this Tuesday June 23rd at 15h, will focus on “The Future of Tourism”. One of the industries most affected by the pandemic is Tourism. Around the world, people are changing the way they feel and think about traveling. Airlines and Tourism companies thus face great uncertainty regarding not only sanitary restrictions but also consumer mind-set and needs. For this seminar, we invited international leaders who will share insights on this key economic sector. Please register here.
Beyond the pandemic, we are also focusing on critical issues for long-term well-being and sustainable development. Our Center for Responsible Business & Leadership is organizing a digital Water Summit on 25 & 26 June, from 15h - 18h, to provide attendees with an understanding of water scarcity and its intrinsic dependencies across businesses, involving the entire value chain of Sourcing, Production and Consumption. Keynote speakers include the CEO of UN Sanitation and Water for All, the Minister of Environment and Climate Action of Portugal, and the Manager of Sector Strategy at Water.org, as well as panel speakers from L’Oréal, Tintex, Pingo Doce, Veolia, Águas de Portugal, Toyota, Microsoft, Super Bock, LNEC, Esporão, Pestana Hotel Group, Bial, LIS-Water and Sugal. Please sign up for this event here.
If you missed last week’s Dean Speaker Series interview of alumnus Luís Amaral, please see here the video of our wonderful conversation.
We have much to share at CATÓLICA-LISBON and #WeStandUNITED. United as a community and united in support of a healthy economy capable of fulfilling the needs and aspirations of all citizens.
Filipe Santos, Dean of CATÓLICA-LISBON
