Manuel Rocha Armada, professor of the Department of Management and Researcher of the Centre for Research in Economics and Management (NIPE) of the School of Economics and Management (EEG), University of Minho, has been distinguished as the best professor in the field of finance among 47 countries around the world. The distinction was made by a global committee within the framework of the International Conference on Research in Finance, promoted online by the Indian Institute of Finance.
"I am very happy and, to some extent, surprised by the award, which recognises my 40-year-long work in the service of UMinho, particularly in this scientific area, but also because it is awarded for the first time to a Portuguese scientist", admitted the laureate, who was also one of the main speakers (guest speaker) of the event.
The jury also praised the socially relevant contributions of Rocha Armada as a result of its investigation, teaching in several countries, the diversified partnerships developed and the numerous positions held at the national and international level, among other aspects.
