Past Workshops

Utrecht University School of Economics (U.S.E.) is organizing a PhD workshop together with colleagues from EDHEC, ESCP, KU Leuven, Warwick Business School, and University of Augsburg 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 13 to June 15, 2023 in Utrecht.

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 Finance, and ESG Investing. The presentation of single authored papers is particularly encouraged.

Please submit your journal-article length paper (PDF) and CV to t.walther@uu.nl by March 15, 2023. Applicants must be enrolled as PhD students at the time of the workshop. The program committee’s decision will be announced in April 2023. Selected students will receive a travel grant (250EUR) and free accommodation over the duration of the workshop.

We are happy to announce that the program committee will give a best paper award (only single authored works) and best discussion award. In addition, Stefano Battiston (U Zurich) will be our keynote guest. The workshop is in close collaboration with the Sustainable Finance Lab.
