Volunteering

What does it mean to be a SemeAd Volunteer?

It means being part of a community that transforms research and practices in the field of administration in Brazil.

It means being connected to other students and professors of postgraduate programs in Brazil as actors of transformation.

It is to be the strength of one of the biggest management events in Brazil and Latin America.

THE SEMEAD VOLUNTEER IS THE DRIVING FORCE OF THIS EVENT WHICH INVOLVES MORE THAN 4 THOUSAND PEOPLE!

In 2022, we impacted around 4,000 authors, 1,800 reviewers, 1,300 congress participants, 75 journal editors, 42 representatives of international institutions, 233 Brazilian institutions, and all this only happened with the support of approximately 400 volunteers.

The 2022 volunteers masterfully handled the challenge of dealing with one of the first and most complex of the hybrid events that involved the following activities:
