IFSA AWARD
International Fashion Science Award
The International Fashion Science Award (IFSA) is the recognition of the trajectory or research quality granted to a relevant agent in the industry or academia or to an entity that has facilitated and promoted the generation of knowledge in fashion science in a relevant way.
The award is given annually and the winners are chosen according to the criteria established in the award rules and designated by the IFSA jury.
Scope of research
At ISEM Fashion Business School we focus our efforts on researching, developing and training the fashion industry. Our scope of research is based on four main pillars: digital consumer behavior, sustainable practices, digital business and business models of the Spanish industry.
Our goal is to contribute to society through postgraduate programs such as our Executive Master in Fashion Management or our executive program such as the Advanced Program in Fashion Management. As part of the University of Navarra, all our activities have the purpose of research with a clear academic, business and social focus. We have a global scope with programs in New York, Miami or Peru.
ISEM Fashion Business School has academic and research agreements with other institutions such as the University of Lugano, Parsons, FIT or Bocconi University. Also with other entities such as GAMMA, with the special edition of the Journal of Global Fashion Marketing (October 2017). As a result, a research group was created whose aim is to recognize the contribution of research in Fashion Science.
