At IE University, we’re proud to have a diverse community of scholars actively and creatively conduct high-quality research. They show a steadfast commitment to excellence and scientific rigor in every research project and strive to make a lasting positive impact with their results – both within the academic world and in society at large. These results also enrich students’ learning experience across all schools at IE University, as cutting-edge knowledge is consistently integrated into their program content.

The researchers in our community also keep their finger on the pulse of their fields and areas of research by participating in international academic conferences, forging partnerships for scientific collaboration, and engaging in relevant editorial and advisory initiatives. These activities strengthen scholars’ expertise while broadening and diversifying their scientific perspective. At IE University, we are committed to academic freedom. To that end, we encourage our researchers to research from diverse perspectives and critically evaluate a wide range of results and theories, while adhering to national laws and international ethical standards.

IE University's Research Initiative on Policy & Management in the Digital Economy addresses the rapid evolution of the digital technology landscape, encompassing societal shifts, industrial and market transformations, new regulatory demands, and their interconnected implications. Recognizing the necessity for cutting-edge scholarship, the initiative aims to facilitate high-level academic discussions and integrate a public-policy perspective. Emphasizing the need for innovative approaches to accessing and decoding data, the initiative seeks to lead discussions on the implications of digital economy changes for research, management, and public policy in Europe. The initiative is generously supported by a two-year unrestricted gift from Meta, and inquiries can be directed to digitaleconomy@ie.edu for further information.
