Please ensure you are using Firefox, Chrome, Edge or any other web browser that is not Internet Explorer when applying online. Unfortunately IE does not render the complete form and won't let you submit a paper.
The organising and scientific committees, along with the organising institutions (Centre for Economic Policy Research - Cyprus University of Technology - Durham University Business School - Essex Business School - Fordham University - KU Leuven - Montpellier Business School - University of Zurich) invite submissions of high quality theoretical or empirical research papers on financial intermediation, corporate finance, and their intersection.
The academic programme starts Thursday morning (September 6) and ends Friday evening (September 7). Due to capacity constraints, preference will be given to participants who can stay for the whole duration of the conference.
There will be around 12 papers presented that will be discussed mostly by members of the programme and the scientific committees, and poster sessions featuring around 15 posters. There will also be ample time for discussion, reflection, and outdoor activities.
Authors will be notified about the acceptance of papers by April 27, 2018 and the conference programme will be released in June 2018.
There is no conference fee and there are no accommodation costs for the invited presenters, discussants and chairs, but all participants must cover their own travel costs.

VENUE
Municipal Art Gallery
Europe Square
Larnaca, Cyprus
One can find the Municipal Art Gallery in the five stone-built former customs storages placed in front of the Europe Square at Larnaca. The building attached to the storages and being a piece of fundamental architecture turned out to be ideal for the allocation of the Historical Archives Museum. The customs storages were in use from 1882 until 1973. In 1973 as a result of the creation the modern port of Larnaca, big storages had been built and all the services, including the customs offices and the port administration moved to new the premises. The two-storey building up to its renovation was used as the Larnaca Officer’s Club. The project was awarded in 1995 with the Europa Nostra award for the "quality it offers to the cultural life of the citizens".
