The K Virtual Finance Seminar series, co-hosted by the business schools of Korea University (KU) and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), features weekly seminars held on Fridays in Korea Standard Time. Since its inception in the Fall of 2021, our seminar series has aimed to bring together world-renowned financial economists, with a particular focus on engaging audiences outside the U.S. and European time zones.
We invite all interested individuals to join us for these seminars using the Zoom links provided below. If you are interested in presenting their research, please reach out to our organizers, Heebum Lee (KU) and Sean Shin (KAIST), who will be coordinating the seminar series for the 2025-2026 academic year. To receive seminar announcements by email, please express your interest to our seminar assistants, Su-chang Heo.
This seminar series is sponsored by the KU Business School's Institute for Business Research and Education's Finance Center, the Asian Institute of Corporate Governance, and the KAIST College of Business.
