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 seven seminars in the Spring, 2025
We have also been organizing a double-venue workshop (2023, 2024) that is taking place simultaneously in Paris and Hong Kong. The idea is to have a true European-Asian sustainable finance workshop, while avoiding flying across continents. Paper presentations alternate between Paris and HK
Please reach out to Stefano Lovo, Emilio Bisetti and Alminas Žaldokas if you are interested in attending or would like to get a Zoom link for the webinar series.
