CUBE is the best rated research unit in Management in Portugal

Católica-Lisbon’s CUBE research unit has once again received from the FCT - Portugal’s Foundation for Science and Technology – the highest rating, of “Excellent”. In the recent evaluation, CUBE received the highest rating of any research units in the domain of “Management”, with a score of 14 out of 15 by a panel of international experts.

The evaluation report from the international panel concluded that the work done within the CUBE research unit was exceptional in several regards, including: “the increasing stream of high quality research papers”, as well as “the largely interdisciplinary nature of these papers, the steady increase in international collaboration, an ability to fund research projects from a variety of academic and commercial sources, and the dynamic and evolutionary nature of the research output”.

CUBE has over fifty members with Ph.D.'s, organised into eight research areas, but also collaborating on multidisciplinary work.

Whereas most research units in Portugal were evaluated by the FCT in early 2019, research units in the domain of Management were only evaluated in November and December of 2019. The full results and report of the evaluations can be viewed at the FCT website. 

With the latest evaluation, CUBE maintains its track record of having always received the highest rating, “Excellent”, in every FCT evaluation since it was founded in 1997.
