Abstract
The project “Adaptation of strategies for corporate social responsibility to address the implications of the Industry 4.0” is currently in the second year of its implementation. It is executed within the ERASMUS + Program, a key activity “Strategic Partnerships in Higher Education” and is coordinated by a team of the “D. A. Tsenov” Academy of Economics (Svishtov) in partnership with the National Federation of Employers of Disabled People (Sofia), the Accreditation Council for Entrepreneurial and Engaged Universities (Münster, Germany), the Catholic University of Murcia (Spain) and the University of Nis (Serbia). The project is focused on current challenges of corporate social responsibility as an expression of the impact of organizational activities on society and the environment. Currently, corporate social responsibility is an extremely important factor influencing the development of companies, the formation of their profits and maintaining the image of product brands. Along with their main activity, socially responsible enterprises also perform activities of social significance, such as offering donations, supporting charitable actions, social events, etc. Such companies also award grants and scholarships, provide support to disaster-affected areas and support other aid causes.
Key words: CSR, Industry 4.0, Erasmus+, Curricula
