SemeAd – the Management Seminars of the School of Economics, Business Administration, Accounting, and Actuarial Science at the University of São Paulo—is one of the leading academic events in this field in Brazil. Held annually, SemeAd plays a key role in the exchange and discussion of academic and technological research in management, both nationally and internationally.
Since its inception in 1996, the event has continuously evolved, establishing itself as a benchmark in the field. Submitted articles undergo a rigorous double-blind review process, ensuring the scientific quality of the research presented. Approved papers are published in the event proceedings and made available on the official website. In addition, the best articles receive awards and are recommended for fast-track consideration in over 70 partner journals, including prestigious international publications.
The 2025 edition solidified the hybrid format and recorded impressive numbers:
📌 2,403 articles submitted
📌 1,596 articles accepted
📌 2,038 attendees
Now, in 2026, SemeAd promises to be even bigger and more innovative! The event will continue to offer its traditional activities, including:
