Research Laboratories

    Research Laboratories are the cornerstone of the research conducted at Athens University of Economics and Business. Their purpose is to carry out high level research and to increase the knowledge that is created by research teams with common or complementary research interests. These Research Laboratories contribute, on the one hand, to the creation of an attractive academic environment with synergies between the laboratories and, on the other, to the development of high quality doctoral theses. Moreover, they serve to promote the research of new, highly qualified members of the Teaching and Research Staff.

    Each Research Laboratory belongs to and operates in one of the Departments at AUEB, supports the research priorities and initiatives of the Department (or Departments) to which the members of the Lab belong, and contributes as far as possible to satisfying the teaching needs of the Department. The area of specialization of each Laboratory is directly related to the discipline and specializations of the Department to which it belongs.
