Invitation

The organizing and program committees, along with the organizing institutions (Cyprus University of Technology ─ Durham University Business School ─ Essex Business School ─ Gabelli School of Business ─ Imperial College Business School ─ Montpellier Business School), invite submissions of high quality theoretical or empirical research papers on financial intermediation, corporate finance, and their intersection.

The conference will be held only in person. The academic program starts on Monday morning (September 2) and ends Wednesday afternoon (September 4).

The conference will feature 20 papers and there will also be ample time for discussion, reflection, and outdoor activities.

Authors will be notified about the acceptance of papers by late April 2024 and the conference program will be released in late May 2024.

The organizing and program committees expect all presenters and discussants to stay for the whole duration of the conference to promote an active discussion.
