Graduate Student Conference: Institutional Investor and Corporate Governance for Sustainability
This conference provides graduate students the opportunity to present their research and engage in a unique dialogue with academics and practitioners on governance challenges and opportunities facing a global economy broadly characterized by increasing integration, resource scarcity and growing inequality. The ongoing climate change debates and economic crises provide examples of how financial markets have become an important policy mechanism for sustainable economies and financial systems and this conference seeks to unite academic rigour with practical questions of implementation.
