FURTHER INFORMATION
The conference will be held at the Hotel Schweizerhof in the mountain resort of Lenzerheide, Switzerland (www.schweizerhof-lenzerheide.ch). The academic programme starts Monday morning (April 4) at 08:00 and ends Wednesday (April 6) before noon. Due to capacity constraints, preference will be given to participants who can stay for the whole duration of the conference. Participants should plan to arrive Sunday afternoon (April 3) and leave Wednesday afternoon (April 6). There will be eleven papers and discussions (including a BIS session on non-bank financial intermediation), twenty posters, and one session with five research idea “elevator pitches”. However, ample time for discussion, reflection and outdoor activities will be left for sure.
Accommodation costs and meals during the conference will be sponsored by the Bank for International Settlements, EPFL, the Swiss Finance Institute and Goethe University Frankfurt, KU Leuven and University of Zurich.
The conference is committed to promoting high-quality diversity in the covered topics (including e.g. green, shadow and/or behavioural banking), in the modelling techniques and data sets employed, and in the background of the participants (including institutional affiliation, gender, and nationality).
