The Institute of Management of Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna is proud to organize the 2025 R&D Management Conference. Our involvement in this conference dates back to 1995, when we organised it for the first time in the beautiful town of San Miniato. In 2005, we organised it for the second time, in Pisa, and the theme was “Organising R&D Activities: a Balancing Act”. In 2015, once more in Pisa, the conference theme was “(Fast?) Connecting R&D”; that edition attracted 335 participants from 38 countries, underscoring its global appeal.
With such a strong commitment in this community of scholars and practitioners, we are excited to continue this tradition and organise the R&D Management Conference for the fourth time in 2025. This time, for a number of reasons, we chose an extraordinary city for the conference: Pisa.
Thanks to the collaboration with the National Biodiversity Future Centre, the topic of the conference will be “Innovation and Biodiversity”. It will be in Pisa “the city of science” for its rich history of scientific contributions, notably being the birthplace of Galileo Galilei and home to prestigious universities.
We are looking forward to meeting you in Pisa in 2025.
