4. About the Colloquium & Conference
Financial systems are being reshaped at once by climate imperatives, rapid digitalisation, and an abundance of data. At the heart of the colloquium is a critical inquiry into whether emerging financial innovations truly create value or merely present an illusion—questioning their real impact on efficiency, transparency, and long-term sustainability.
The Doctoral Colloquium and Conference invites researchers, faculty members, and practitioners to engage with cutting-edge research, interdisciplinary perspectives, and theoretical and empirical insights that can guide the responsible evolution of financial markets and inform policy, innovation, and sustainable economic growth. The event encompasses keynote sessions, Meet the Editors, a workshop on quantitative analysis, and paper presentations across six thematic tracks.
