The Cascais Academic Hall is where the Bachelor's students' lessons take place, but it also stands as a prominent research area in the school. At Nova SBE, we bring together researchers who specialize in many different areas ranging from Economics to Finance and Management, fostering a unified Research Unit with a cross-disciplinary approach. Our mission is to drive impactful research by seamlessly coordinating activities across knowledge centers, studies, and projects. This collaborative effort empowers the school to produce globally recognized, high-quality research that tackles pressing issues. Through our endeavors, we aim to create a lasting influence on public policies, markets, business practices, and society as a whole. Our research's strategic alignment with the school's mission enables us to address grand challenges such as the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, the EU's objectives, and the Portuguese scientific and innovation ecosystem. We are committed to advancing knowledge and contributing meaningfully to a better future.
