Dear colleagues,

The organizing and program committees, along with the organizing institutions (Audencia Business School ─ Brevan Howard Centre for Financial Analysis ─ Centre for Economic Policy Research ─ Cyprus University of Technology ─ Durham University Business School ─ Fordham University ─ Montpellier Business School ─ University of Essex ─ University of Zurich ─ European Bank for Reconstruction and Development), invite submissions of high quality theoretical or empirical research papers on financial intermediation, corporate finance, and their intersection.

The conference is structured around the key functional areas of financial intermediation and corporate finance, hence any work that falls within these research realms is welcome. The conference objective is to help stimulate and promote academic activity in the relevant areas and to encourage the dissemination of scientific research among scholars, practitioners and government policymakers.

We look forward to seeing you at Greece in August.
