The Scandinavian Academy of Industrial Engineering and Management (ScAIEM), established in 2012, is a scholarly association comprising members from Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland.[1] The organization promotes collaboration, knowledge exchange, and the dissemination of best practices among universities offering educational programs in the field of Industrial Engineering and Management (IEM).

In Sweden and Norway, the discipline is traditionally referred to as industriell ekonomi and industriell økonomi, respectively. These national terms, however, do not fully align with the internationally recognized designation Industrial Engineering and Management, which more comprehensively reflects the interdisciplinary nature and global scope of the field.
