Lisbon Seminars

CATÓLICA-LISBON, NOVA SBE, ISCTE-IUL and ISEG organize two series of joint research seminars.

The Lisbon Finance Seminars, focused on the field of Finance, attract speakers from academic institutions around the world and cover a variety of topics of interest to both academics and research-oriented professionals.

These are organized by Jörg Stahl (Católica Lisbon School of Business and Economics), Irem Demirci (NOVA SBE), António Barbosa (ISCTE-IUL) and Raquel M. Gaspar (ISEG).

The Lisbon Accounting Seminars, in the field of Accounting, have the same worldwide impact in attracting excellent speakers. They usually take place on Fridays.

Should you have any questions please contact our seminar organizers Joana Fontes (Católica Lisbon School of Business and Economics), Sofia M. Lourenço  (ISEG), Isabel Lourenço (ISCTE-IUL) and Maria João Major (NOVA SBE).
