Welcome!

Nova School of Business and Economics (Nova SBE) is delighted to host the 43rd Annual Conference of the European Association for Research in Industrial Economics (EARIE).

Nova School of Business and Economics is the most prestigious Portuguese school in the areas of Economics and Management. It is a triple crown-accredited school with three Masters programs and Executive Education programs in the FT rankings, and classified as a Universal Business School (5 Palmes) with 11 Masters among the best in the Eduniversal rankings. Nova SBE is also a member of the prestigious CEMS network having won twice the title of CEMS School of the year (2010, 2011).

Since its establishment in 1976, it has been a pioneer in Portugal in several areas, being the first to offer a full-time MBA program (1982), the first to start teaching in English and the first to be internationally accredited (EQUIS 2004).

Nova School of Business and Economics has stepped up activity at an international level, not only as an institution but also in terms of its program portfolio. It has founded in 2009 an extremely successful business school in Africa - Nova Angola Business School -, offers the only FT ranked MSc in Finance in Brazil, and implemented Executive Education programs in such diverse locations as Mozambique, Brazil and Northern and Eastern Europe.

The Local Organising Committee (LOC), chaired by Steffen Hoernig, looks forward to working with the EARIE 2016 Scientific Program Committee Chair, Alessandro Gavazza and welcoming you all to Lisbon.
