This year's challenges:

  • Fostering impact and inclusive leaders: Crafting a guide for organisations and institutions to make an impact on society 2024-25
    Diversity is a well-known topic in business management. However, little is known about inclusion and the importance of managers to act as inclusive leaders. Do you know the difference between diversity and inclusion? Do you know what the difference between a manager and a leader is? Talent and human capital are the most precious resources for an organization. The empirical evidence shows that the diversity of ideas and ways of thinking promotes innovation in organizations, better performance and results and societal impact. The idea of impact and inclusive leadership affects all groups of individuals influenced by the activity of the organization.

  • Monitoring and Evaluation solutions
    Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) is often a complex and cumbersome process for both public and private organizations in the education sector. The challenge is to develop technological solutions that can seamlessly and continuously assess theimpact of initiatives and programs to inform ongoing improvements and promote efficient resource utilization.

  • Strengthening of philantropic activity among generation Z
    This challenge is essential for boosting the development of a society by increasing the number of people who are willing to invest their time and money for the benefit of others. Current data shows that many European countries lag behind the world average in philanthropic behavior. However, members of Generation Z, known for their open-mindedness and inclusiveness, can be pivotal.
