VERSÃO HORIZONTAL
CSG
Research in Social Sciences and Management CSG - Research in Social Sciences and Management is a research unit hosted by the Lisbon School of Economics & Management (ISEG), an institution dedicated to teaching and research, which was founded in 1911 and is now part of Universidade de Lisboa, the largest university in Portugal. CSG is a recent research unit, created in 2013 by the joining of four of ISEG’s research centres:SOCIUS (Research Centre in Economic and Organisational Sociology), ADVANCE (Centre for Advanced Research in Management), CEsA (Research Centre on Africa, Asia and Latin America) and GHES (Economic and Social History Research Unit). These centres decided to establish a consortium, with the objective of bringing together researchers who share a similar approach to the study of the socio-economic and organisational reality, increasing critical mass and enhancing complementarities. CSG aims to produce internationally-recognised high quality multi- and inter-disciplinary research. The unit’s hallmark is the study of economic and organisational reality through the lens of various social sciences, breaking the frequent isolation
of economics and management from other social disciplines, and enriching research. The unit believes that contemporary economies and organisations are complex realities which can only be understood from a plural theoretical and methodological perspective. CSG’s main specific objectives are the following: the development of research projects, mainly carried out in the Portuguese, European and Lusophone contexts; the publication of members scientific research, with a special emphasis on papers published in WoS and SCOPUS-indexed journals; the participation in scientific networks with partner institutions; the organisation and participation in scientific events; the advanced education of human resources, through PhD degrees and other graduate courses; and the dissemination of research to the public and private sector, and society as a whole. In 2015, CSG was subject to the international evaluation of R&D units by FCT - Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia, and was ranked as “Excellent”.
People The CSG team embodies an openly inter-disciplinary nature, and includes researchers from different scientific fields, mainly Economic and Organisational Sociology, Economics, Management, Finance, Development Studies, and Economic and Social History.

PhD degrees Development Studies
Management
A PhD focused on the inter-disciplinary area of the process of economic, social, and political changes in modern societies. This degree, which was originally hosted by ISEG, became a joint venture between ISEG, ICS, IGOT, and ISA, all from Universidade de Lisboa.
A PhD that provide students with cutting-edge knowledge about Business and Management theory, as well as the necessary tools, methodologies, and strategies for developing relevant and impacting research.
Economic and Organisational Sociology
An innovative PhD in terms of its immersive inter-disciplinary approach. As a flagship of the College F3, it is jointly-organised by several schools of Universidade de Lisboa, spanning natural to social sciences. It aims to produce an impact on sustainable development, which is challenged by food production and consumption.
Includes a theoretical background on institutions, communities, policies, and markets. It focusses on the complexity of societies and the embeddedness of economic, social, and cultural dimensions as central issues that are visible in empirical subjects. Economic and Social History This PhD is included in the European Graduate School for Training in Economic and Social Historical Research (ESTER) network - a conjunction of prestigious universities which offers high-level research training in the field of Economic and Social History.

CSG Publications
Outreach & Impact For many years, CSG has produced open access resources, a noteworthy example being CESA’s “Memory of Africa” project. CSG makes open science a priority, by seeking and providing open access to the scientific publications of its researchers and fostering communication and public involvement with science. CSG has had a new website (https:// csg.rc.iseg.ulisboa.pt/) since 2016, in a bilingual format (Portuguese and English), which is a part of the consortium’s outreach science strategy. The website displays all the information regarding the research activity carried out within the framework of CSG. Newsletters and mailing campaigns are regularly sent to members and subscribers alike. In 2017, CSG became part of PASSDA (Production and Archive of Social Science Data), the national counterpart of the ESS-ERIC and CESSDA-ESFRI European infrastructures, which provides an open access platform for the archiving and curation of international research data.
