Responsible Leadership in Business, Administration and Innovation (RELBAI)RELBAI contributes to NLA's vision of uniting professionalism, ethics, and education. Our research seeks not only to understand organizations, but to transform them – to develop leaders who act with wisdom, courage, and responsibility to shape sustainable businesses and other types of organizations.Education, Marginalization and Value (EMV)EMV investigates how societal changes – across family, school, and politics – affect education, and responds with innovative and critical research.RECAPRECAP offers an important long-term perspective on social responsibility. We argue that responsible actions spring from a shaped character – developed through reflected engagement with the cultural and educational traditions we inherit.Journalism, Media and Communication (JMC) – The Social Responsibility of Public DiscourseJMC Group provides the doctoral program with a critical understanding of the formative power of the media. We explore how social responsibility is realized through communication – and how it must be continuously renewed to maintain a vibrant democracy.Language, text and literature (LTL) – The responsibility of interpretation and narrationThe LTL group contributes to deepening the understanding of the narrative and linguistic dimensions of social responsibility. We show that the stories we create are fundamental tools for shaping moral imagination and the ability to empathically engage with the world.Catholic Studies (CAS) – Social responsibility rooted in human dignity and the common goodThe research group contributes to strengthening the program within both core areas. We offer a deep historical and philosophical foundation for social responsibility and show how long-standing religious traditions provide robust frameworks for philosophical reflection on education—with a focus on the human being and the tradition of virtue ethics.
