Dear AEDEM academics and conference participants,
The Universidade Autónoma de Lisboa has the privilege and honour of hosting the 2026 AEDEM Global Summit of the European Academy of Management and Business Economics (AEDEM), which will be held in Lisbon from 22nd to 24th February, 2026. We would like to invite you to participate in this meeting, which, through its various panels, will allow us to exchange ideas and knowledge to enrich our research in the field of business administration, thereby increasing the opportunities of dissemination and publication of the papers presented, and thus contributing to the transfer of knowledge to society.
The international character of AEDEM meetings stems from the diversity of its attendees, who come from different countries and cultures, contributing to a more global vision of the economy. This diversity is also notable in its intergenerational culture, where academics with extensive experience share space with researchers in training, who present the results of their Doctoral Theses.
The Autonomous University of Lisbon, since its foundation in 1986, has aimed to become an international benchmark in higher education, research, and knowledge transfer.
Lisbon is the capital and largest city of Portugal, located at the mouth of the Tagus River and on the Atlantic coast, making it the most western city in Europe. It is famous for its historic tile architecture, yellow trams, the sound of fado music, its delicious cuisine (especially pastéis de nata), and its vibrant and charismatic atmosphere. The city sits on seven hills and offers a combination of historical heritage, such as the Jerónimos Monastery, and a modern, bohemian spirit in neighborhoods such as Alfama and Bairro Alto.
We look forward to seeing you in Lisbon and enjoying this event together, where we will not only share a space to reflect on academic issues but also share moments of conviviality among AEDEM members.
Welcome to the 2026 AEDEM Global Summit.
