Today, March 28, the official presentation of the
Portuguese Blockchain Alliance, promoted by
CIONET PortugalThe project, created with the aim of developing an ecosystem that brings together companies, academia and government entities in order to provide the Portuguese business system with solid knowledge in Blockchain. In addition, it is intended that all actors in the Portuguese economy are as well prepared as possible for the revolution of technology based on digital currencies, as well as stimulating the development of Blockchain-based solutions of national origin.
At the academic level, the Alliance has the partnership of ISEG - Lisbon School of Economics & Management, among other educational institutions.
The The Portuguese Blockchain Alliance will develop several initiatives throughout this year to promote knowledge about this emerging paradigm, namely a roadshow that will reach higher education students and business associations, challenges to promote the development of innovative solutions based on Blockchain technology and a final conference where the solutions developed by the participants of this initiative will be presented.
ISEG will be one of the academic entities that will host one of the sessions of the Blockchain Alliance Roadshow, on a date to be announced.

The Economic Alumni has established a partnership with Olho de Turista, managed by a former student of ISEG. Its associates benefit from exceptional conditions for his unpublished work "Historical Villages of Portugal - Touristic Guide". This advantage was later extended to current ISEG students, teachers and students, through ALumni and as a gesture of sharing something good with the entire ISEG community.
In the company of the Tourist Guide of the Historical Villages of Portugal we propose a tour of emotions and unique discoveries in the corners of Beira Interior. Famous for welcoming and eating well, enjoy its typical gastronomy, with a taste of History: Serra da Estrela Cheese, Bucho or Sweet Sardines.
You can try these and other suggestions, included in the gift and discount vouchers (4000€). See more information here (

The article "Board Structure and Price Informativeness" by Clara Raposo, full professor at ISEG, Daniel Ferreira (LSE) and Miguel Ferreira (UNL) was accepted for publication in the Journal of Financial Economics (forthcoming 2011).
It is a category A journal in the ISI list, with Impact Factor 4.02 (5-year Impact factor 5.675). In this article the authors analyze, from both a theoretical and an empirical point of view, the relationship between the independence of a firm's Board of Directors and the degree of information implied by the firm's stock prices.
The article explores the substitution/complementarity effect between the Board of Directors and the Stock Market as disciplining elements of the executive team of listed companies.
You can access the abstract of the article at:
