Aims and scope.Reconciling sustainability and finance requires narrowing the current gaps between analytical methods, financial instruments and governance processes. Following the success of our 2017 academia-focused conference, we now expand the discussion in the FINEXUS 2018 Conference to include policy makers and industry professionals. Practitioner sessions present success stories from leading experts and discuss how the insights from research could help to address the challenges faced by the financial industry and by policy makers. Research sessions report the latest findings from leading scholars in the field and discuss the future avenues of research.
Key panelists feature a Nobel Laureate, Chief Economists of development banks, Chief Officers of private financial institutions, multiple times best-selling authors, leading scientists and influential thinkers. A Key Panel Session will take place on Thursday, 18 January 2018, 17:30-19:30. Confirmed speakers include Prof. Joseph Stiglitz (Columbia University), Mr. Graeme Maxton (Club of Rome and former director of the Economist Intelligence Unit), Mr. Christopher Steane (Global Head of Lending Services at ING), Mr. Urban Angehrn (Group Chief Investment Officer and Member of the Executive Committee at Zurich Insurance Group), and Ms. Mafalda Duarte (Head of Climate Investment Funds).
In order to secure your seat, please submit relevant material and register here before December 15. You can find the preliminary program at the same page. If you have already registered, then you do not need to register again.
