The International Forum on Management (IFM) is a technical-scientific congress hosted every year, since 2016, and based on a copromotion model by five higher education institutions (HEI) in Portugal: the Escola Superior de Hotelaria e Turismo do Estoril (ESHTE)/Estoril Higher Institute for Tourism and Hotel Studies, Politécnico de Setúbal / Setúbal Polytechnic University, the Universidade Aberta, a University of Algarve and the University of Évora.
It acts as a space of international reference that brings together researchers and professionals whose work has promoted the development of research and practice in the different areas of management and related fields. It aims at providing a space for reflection and knowledge sharing, perspectives and approaches, contributing to knowledge dissemination, development of best business practice, and the formulation of public policies.
The 8th edition of the congress will take place in Estoril, from 7th to 9th March 2024 and is hosted by the Escola Superior de Hotelaria e Turismo do Estoril (ESHTE)/Estoril Higher Institute for Tourism and Hotel Studies and CITUR Estoril.
