Title: Proximity Strategies for Stakeholder Engagement in Business Models for Sustainability

Engaging stakeholders effectively is a cornerstone of sustainable business models, yet many organisations struggle to put it into practice. This seminar explores how proximity—the closeness in identity, function, production, or community—can serve as a powerful lever for stakeholder engagement. Drawing on multiple case studies, Cinzia Battistella and her co-authors propose a conceptual framework that combines five proximity dimensions and three strategic approaches (adaptation, association, and identity) to better integrate stakeholder engagement into business models for sustainability. The findings offer both conceptual clarity and practical insights for academics and practitioners seeking to bridge sustainability and collaboration in meaningful ways.

Cancerfonden welcomes you to an inspiration and knowledge session! Are you a researcher curious about how you can fund your research through Cancerfonden?
Meet representatives from Cancerfonden who will explain which grants you can apply for, what we look for in successful applications, and which common pitfalls to avoid.

Many researchers at the School of Health and Welfare could apply for Cancerfonden's grants – but don’t, often because they believe their research must be exclusively about cancer. That’s not the case! The organization funds a wide range of projects that in various ways contribute to preventing cancer, understanding how it develops, or improving the lives of those affected.

Representatives will share concrete tips, examples, and insights – and after the presentation, there will be plenty of time for questions and discussion.
