The conference is open to methodologically rigorous and robust submissions in all areas of sustainable finance and investment. Disciplinary diversity is appreciated, as are all types of methodologies, quantitative as well as qualitative and theoretical work. Conceptual and empirical papers are both welcome.
Potential areas of focus include: public and private equity, central banking, asset classes and sustainable finance, private wealth, public and private debt, impact investing, economic modeling, accounting, etc.
We encourage the submission of PhD papers and the conference will award a Best PhD Paper Prize.
Each chosen paper will be given a 30-minute presentation slot (20 to present and 10 for questions). Papers from different disciplines and with different methodological approaches are sought to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and learning. Strong emphasis will be given to quality over quantity of chosen submissions, to ensure a strong experience for conference participants.
The best papers presented will be awarded monetary prizes at the discretion of the Conference Committee.
