Abstract

Nova School of Business and Economics (Nova SBE) is ranked 21st among the best schools in Europe, the best business school in Portugal and the only one in the Top 25 (Financial Times ranking). Despite the diversity inherent in its three main research pillars (Management, Economics, Finance), Nova SBE integrates all its researchers into a single research unit that hosts 112 integrated researchers and 84 PhD candidates, who benefit from excellent conditions to fulfil their needs. The activity plan of the Nova SBE Research Unit for 2025-29 is aligned with the School’s global strategy, where research stands as one of the essential endeavours since Nova SBE is committed to fortifying its position as a leading research school in Europe while gaining recognition on a global scale. This ambition involves adopting an interdisciplinary approach crossing its three main research pillars, towards addressing the following five strategic research areas. 1) Public Policy; 2) Innovation& Entrepreneurship; 3) Data, Digital, and Design; 4) Sustainability; 5) Health & Ageing. Aligned with the strategic areas, six main objectives were set up for the Unit: 1. Consolidating Nova SBE as an outward-looking research hub. Ongoing projects and initiatives are pivotal in consolidating Nova SBE as an outward-looking hub. Moreover, keeping the pace of increasing participation in projects in international consortia and attracting major international academic conferences will further contribute to this objective. 2. Deepening research integration within the Nova SBE value-creation cycle. Research findings and practical applications will be integrated into educational programmes, through the development of courses and case studies, and the collaboration of students in applied knowledge activities, to nurture the next generation of professionals, researchers, and entrepreneurs. 3. Strengthening PhD Programmes. Nova SBE is exploring international partnerships with leading research universities to launch a joint PhD programme and to promote exchange agreements for PhD candidates. The current curricula will be revised, and fellowships will be awarded to the best candidates. 4. Investing in strategic partnerships. Nova SBE is establishing collaborations and negotiating partnerships with leading national and international entities. Influential entities will also be integral contributors to our collaborative network. 5. Ensuring financial viability of research. Increasing research funds, not only by investing in the effort to secure major grants but also by increasing the number of sponsored chairs in strategic research areas, is a major objective. 6. Nurturing diversity& engagement within the research community. The Unit is committed to fair and inclusive hiring practices that actively seek candidates from diverse backgrounds and underrepresented groups. The new initiatives will add to activities and practices already in place both contributing to strengthening the Research Unit. .
