HEC-HKUST Sustainable Finance Webinar 

Biweekly online seminar series on sustainable finance and a joint physical workshop

The seminar and the workshop acts as an internal platform to expose researchers in this growing field to new ideas and findings and is targeted at active researchers in this field across Europe and Asia


   

The seminars run on every second Wednesday and start at 10am Paris time. We will have six seminars in the Fall, 2024


On Dec 4-5, 2023, we also organized a double-venue workshop that took place simultaneously in Paris and Hong Kong. The idea was to have a true European-Asian sustainable finance workshop, while avoiding flying across continents. Paper presentations alternated between Paris and HK


This year, we plan to hold such double venue workshop to take place simultaneously in Paris and HK on Dec 17-18, 2024. Please reach out to one of the organizers for more information
