ESF PhD Workshop

The ESCP Faculty of Finance is organizing a PhD workshop together with colleagues from the University of Augsburg, CREST, ENSAE, KU Leuven, Warwick Business School, and Utrecht University School of Economics on the topic of Sustainable Finance. We invite PhD students to apply to present and discuss their current research to professors and other PhD students with a focus on Sustainable Finance. The workshop will take place in person from June 16 to June 18, 2025, in Turin.

Submission

The submission is open to a wide range of theoretical and empirical work on Sustainable Finance including, but not limited to Corporate Finance and Governance, Asset Pricing, Climate and Biodiversity Finance, and ESG Investing. The presentation of single-authored papers is particularly encouraged.

Please submit your journal-article-length paper (PDF) and CV to info@esfpw.eu by March 10th, 2025. Applicants must be enrolled as PhD students at the time of the workshop. The program committee’s decision will be announced in April 2025. Selected students will receive a travel grant (250EUR) and free accommodation for the workshop.

We are happy to announce that the program committee will give a best paper award (only single-authored works) and a best discussion award.
