This SAP Research Challenge aims to promote the development of in-person R&D activities focused on the discussion of new challenges and critical perspectives in Management Research. The emerging challenges in Management research will be explored and debated in different critical perspectives during this program. The SAP program is divided into two components: training and group research. The training component will be based on short thematic workshops taught by academics and experts. These workshops will focus on emerging the agenda on Management related research topics (finance topics, entrepreneurship, and communication) and training in basic research components (namely, Research Methodologies, Data Analysis, Scientific Writing, Preparation of Scientific Pitches, and Funding Opportunities).

Concerning the research component (designated as Hands-On), young researchers will be incorporated into projects currently being executed at IPCA R&D units and challenged to carry out a short-term R&D project oriented towards the project's goals. The students will be divided into groups under supervision of a senior researcher. In addition to research activities, young researchers will participate in scientific discussion sessions among the various members of IPCA R&D units, designated as Journal Club. Here, they will be challenged to analyze a recent scientific publication and present their methods, results, and main findings to the IPCA scientific community. Finally, all students must prepare an oral presentation of the projects developed in the scientific communication sessions of IPCA R&D units.
