April 2013 updates from the Academic Network: New PRI publications – implications for academic research and Academic research needs of the RI industry.
The Principles for Responsible Investment Academic Network is a unique research community established to support the work of the PRI Initiative through research on responsible investing. It fosters a network of scholars, practitioners, policymakers and students interested in responsible investment issues and provides freely accessible avenues for research, education and network-building on critical responsible investment issues.
The Academic Network hosts an annual Academic Conference and also offers the RI Knowledge Platform as a unique resource pool within the responsible investment community, offering a database of aggregated RI research as well as news, blogs, and other types of resources.
The main objectives of the Academic Network are:
- To provide open access to the most comprehensive resources for research and analysis on responsible investment;
- To develop a global platform to deliver high-quality and accessible academic research to PRI signatory organizations;
- To establish and foster a network of scholars, practitioners, policymakers and students interested in responsible investment issues.
