background
the (ace) was founded in 2013/14 under the patronage of the european foundation for management development (efmd). ace focuses on academic excellence and the synergy between research and education to better prepare the next generation of executives.
in response to this vision, during the 2020-2021 academic year, a group of ace members, leeds university business school (lubs), the faculty of business and
economics at university of antwerp and the school of management at xiamen university (xmu), joined forces to provide a series of international research seminars
for post-graduates and early career post-doctoral researchers. speakers covering a wide range of business-related topics were able to present to an international
group of attendees through these highly accessible online sessions. more recently the school of economics and business at the university of ljubljana (seb lu) has
become actively involved in this work and the virtual seminar sessions have continued with the latest taking place in march 2024.
the initiative is now expanding with this first face-to-face international event.
