The second Inter-University Philippe de Woot Award ceremony was held in Gent on February 16, 2012.
Created in 2010, the inter-university Philippe de Woot Award aims to promote Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by rewarding, every two years, a Master thesis that constitutes an original contribution to the understanding and thinking about Corporate Social Responsability.
During the ceremony, the award for the best Master thesis on Corporate Social Responsibility went to Stefan Maas, who graduated from Antwerp University. His thesis, "Development of an innovative CSR management system framework: Theoretical development and aqualitative assessment in Flanders", was assessed by the jury as the one providing the most relevant contribution for the awareness of sustainable entrepreuneurship.
The winner received a prize of 4 500 euros, from which 1 500 euros will be offered to a environmental or social project of his choice.
Victoria Jadot, who graduated from the ULB, received the Special Academic Jury award for her thesis entitled "Corporate responsibility as a driver of strategic change: The case of Umicore".
