The Lab
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:
- Innovation and Knowledge Management Research Center (InnKnow)
- TRANsportation Systems and LOGistics Research Center (TRANSLOG)
- Operations Research & Decision Systems Research Center (ORDeS)
- Operations Management and ERP Systems Research Center (OPeR)
- Financial Engineering Research Center (FRC)
- Research Initiative in Sustainable Energy (RISE)
- Research Centre for Sustainable, Ethical & Circular Fashion and Textiles (FRFashtech)
- Health Sector Research Center (HealthSec)
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.
The Management Science Laboratory (MSL) is accredited for ISO 9001-2015 by TUV HELLAS. Accredited for ISO 9001 since 2007, this accreditation is both a supporting mechanism for the execution of research projects and a proof that the activities within MSL –design and implementation of research and development projects, selection and tutoring of PhD candidates, and knowledge diffusion through publications and other outreach activities- are conducted according to the highest standards of quality, procedural requirements and timely implementation.
