‘EIASM: Fostering Excellence in Responsible Research & Doctoral Education in Management and Governance. European in origin, global in outlook!’

Our History

Since our foundation in 1971, the European Institute for Advanced Studies in Management (EIASM) has dedicated itself to raising the profile of European Management Research with respect to other established scientific disciplines, as well as the business world. We are European in origin, whilst being global in our outlook! For 50 years EIASM has been the European Network of Networks for Researchers and Doctoral Students in Management and Governance. The member associations supported by EIASM facilitate access to leading management scientists within and beyond Europe. Currently there are more than 70,000 management scientist members of EIASM, the ‘network of networks’. The EIASM Academic Council currently includes 70 leading Universities and Business Schools worldwide. EIASM currently provides support services and premises in Brussels for eight leading European academic associations.
