The Management Science Laboratory (MSL) of the Athens University of Economics and Business (AUEB) was established in the end of 2000 by the Senate of the University. Its mission is to conduct top-quality research in the wider area of Management Science, to disseminate the results of this research internationally, to support the educational activities of AUEB in the area of Management Science, and to conduct consulting and outreach activities in this scientific area. The core team of MSL consists of about 40 researchers (faculty, postdoctoral researchers, visiting researchers and PhD students), working on basic or applied research projects funded by the European Commission, national funding agencies, as well as other public or private organizations. The laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art computer software and networks, decision technology, ERP tools and systems and risk management systems.
MSL is part of AUEB’s Department of Management Science and Technology (DMST) and consists of 8 Research Centers that cover key scientific fields of Management Science:
Each unit has its own research staff and develops independent research activities, while collaborating with the other centers in order to develop new methodologies, models and tools, thus enabling integrated approaches and know-how to complex projects. Through this collaboration, research is conducted in an effective and innovative way to the advantage of both the projects being performed and the researchers involved.
