University of Pavia & Department of Economics and Management
Founded in 1361, the University of Pavia is one of Europe’s oldest universities and today ranks among the leading academic institutions in Italy and internationally. With a vibrant community of tens of thousands of students, an extensive museum system, historic libraries, and a wide network of international partnerships, the university offers a unique environment where centuries of academic tradition meet cutting-edge research and global openness. The Department of Economics and Management (Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Aziendali), has been recognized as a “Dipartimento di Eccellenza” for the period 2023–2027 by the Italian Ministry of University and Research. Welcoming a large student body and maintaining numerous Erasmus and international agreements, the department combines strong disciplinary foundations with a marked international orientation, making it an ideal setting for high-level scientific exchange in management studies.
Teatro Fraschini
The Fraschini Theatre in Pavia, recognised in 2003 by the Ministry as a “Teatro di Tradizione” and established as a Foundation in 2007, boasts over 250 years of musical activity for the benefit of the city and the surrounding Pavia area, and, from the latter half of the twentieth century, of the national scene as well. From its opening in 1773, the Theatre became a driving force and a key venue for the dissemination of operatic, musical and dance traditions. Today more than ever, the Fraschini aims to be a point of reference and a privileged meeting place for the performing arts (drama, music, opera, dance, performance), attentive to its roots yet always looking to the future and, as a Foundation, it positions itself as a centre for cultural production and regeneration in the area: not only a theatre, but also festivals, educational initiatives for schools, and social and cultural projects.
Welcoming the SIMA community in such a historically rich and architecturally distinctive venue offers an extraordinary setting for the Opening Ceremony and reflects the conference’s commitment to culture, tradition and scientific dialogue.
