EUROPEAN ACADEMY OF MANAGEMENT

What EUROPEAN ACADEMY OF MANAGEMENT does

The European Academy of Management (EURAM) is a non-profit learned society founded in 2001 and headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, with 49 employees. EURAM's stated mission is to advance the academic discipline of management in Europe. It serves individual management scholars — university professors, researchers, and doctoral students — across 60 countries, providing them with platforms for academic collaboration, publication, networking, and career development.

EURAM's core offerings are organized around three pillars: annual conferences (the EURAM 2025 Conference was held at the University of Florence on 23-25 June 2025, with EURAM 2026 scheduled for the University of Agder in Kristiansand, Norway on 16-19 June 2026), the peer-reviewed European Management Review journal, and a research community structured into 13 Strategic Interest Groups covering sub-disciplines such as Entrepreneurship, Strategic Management, Innovation, Corporate Governance, and Gender/Race/Diversity. Additional programming includes the Doctoral Colloquium, EURAM Doctoral Accelerator, EURAM Early Career Community, EURAM Job Market, research grants, and awards. Delivery occurs through the EURAM website, email newsletters, and in-person events.

EURAM operates a community-led go-to-market model with revenue derived from two primary streams: annual recurring membership fees and one-time conference registration fees. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The organization is governed by a Board, Executive Committee, Fellows College, SIG Committee, Country Representatives Council, and Ethics Committee. No parent company, funding rounds, or external ownership are indicated; EURAM is an independent non-profit. The Conversation Europe partnership extends research dissemination into public-facing media.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves3 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD): EFMD is a large European-wide management education and development network covering business schools, programs, and faculty. It overlaps with EURAM's European management community but focuses more on education quality and accreditation than pure scholarship.
• International Federation of Scholarly Associations of Management (IFSAM): IFSAM is the umbrella federation of national management associations worldwide. It operates above EURAM in the academic association stack and is comparable as a broader incumbent convening body for management scholarship.

Direct peers

• Academy of Management (AOM): AOM is the leading US-based learned society for management scholars, operating annual meetings, multiple peer-reviewed journals (AMR, AMJ, etc.), and an extensive interest-group structure that directly parallels EURAM's mission, governance, and product portfolio.
• International Academy of Management (IAM): IAM is an international learned society for management researchers, offering conferences and publications that compete with EURAM for the same global pool of management academics.
• Strategic Management Society (SMS): SMS is a global learned society for strategic management scholars, running an annual conference and specialty journals. It directly competes with EURAM's Strategic Management SIG and overall scholarly community for members and submissions.
• European Group for Organizational Studies (EGOS): EGOS is a European learned society focused on organization studies, hosting an annual colloquium and providing a publishing and networking platform for management scholars — directly comparable in scope, geographic base, and target membership to EURAM.
• British Academy of Management (BAM): BAM is the UK national management learned society, running an annual conference, peer-reviewed journals, and interest groups. It is the closest national equivalent to EURAM and competes for overlapping UK and European management scholars.

Regional players

• Association of MBAs (AMBA): AMBA is a UK- and global-headquartered association accrediting MBA, DBA, and MBM programs. It engages similar management-academia stakeholders in Europe and provides a comparable membership/events model, though oriented more toward program accreditation than scholarly research.
• Chartered Association of Business Schools (CABS): CABS represents UK business schools and faculty. It overlaps with EURAM's European management academic community but serves primarily UK schools and is a regional peer rather than a direct competitor.

Others

• Wiley (publisher of European Management Review): Wiley is a major academic publisher that co-publishes European Management Review with EURAM. It is an ecosystem participant and enabling infrastructure provider rather than a direct competitor, but is materially relevant to EURAM's journal revenue and distribution.
