European Academy of Management (EURAM)

The European Academy of Management is a learned society founded in 2001. It aims at advancing the academic discipline of management in Europe. With members from 60 countries in Europe and beyond, EURAM has a high degree of diversity and provides its members with opportunities to enrich debates over a variety of research management themes and traditions.

The European Academy of Management (EURAM) is a professional community of engaged management scholars and reflective practitioners - open, inclusive, international and cross-cultural. EURAM places a strong emphasis on multidisciplinary theoretical perspectives and methodological pluralism, and promotes critical examinations of the historical and philosophical roots of management theory and praxis. EURAM aims at enhancing the quality of research, improving its relevance for responsible and effective practice and contribute to the social and political discourse on management.

EURAM’s goals are:
  *To facilitate the continued evolution of an open, inclusive international and cross-cultural EURAM community of engaged scholars;
  *To support scholars in designing, producing and disseminating higher quality and impactful research at each stage of their career;
  *To influence the development of management education;
  *To provide platforms and facilitate networks for the dialogue between scholars, reflective practitioners and policy makers.

With over 2.000 members, EURAM has quickly developed a community of engaged management scholars in Europe.
