The Faculty and Collegio members of both partner universities have close academic networks within their specific research areas, too numerous to list here.  Our PhD programme benefits from the guidance and support of an Advisory Board of leading, internationally recognised colleagues from different countries and disciplines, which currently consists of the following members:

• Massimo Contrafatto, University of Sussex, Great Britain
• Fabrizio Ferraro, IESE, Spain
• Claudia Gabbionetta, University of York, Great Britain
• Christoph Grimpe, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark
• Giuseppe Grossi, Nord University, Norway
• Nadine Kammerlander, WHU Otto Beisheim School of Management, Germany
• Linda Osti, Bangor University, United Kingdom
• Tanja Rabl, TU Kaiserslautern, Germany
• Martin Schnitzer, Universität Innsbruck, Austria

Additionally, our faculty members have established partnerships with colleagues, research groups, and institutes, for instance, from:

• Baruch College, USA
• Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong
• Lee Kong Chian School of Business – Singapore Management University, Singapore
• Manchester Business School, UK
• NYU – New York University Stern;

These and many more professional contacts will provide our PhD students with numerous opportunities to pursue their research interests, to develop and maintain important networks, and to experience the life of a young scholar on a truly international level. Finally, it will be of help with starting a successful academic career.
