THE PhD IN FINANCE FORUM

Once a year, the EDHEC PhD in Finance Forum showcases the research produced by our PhD candidates and graduates to an international audience of academics and finance practitioners.

THE PhD IN FINANCE FORUM 

 

Become autonomous researchers and life-long innovators

Our experience running the PhD in Finance programme over the last fifteen years strongly suggests that experienced professionals with a strong academic background are capable of high-quality academic research with potential to make a difference in both academia and practice.

Each year, the EDHEC PhD in Finance Forum welcomes five of our PhD candidates and graduates who have thereby the opportunity to share their recent research findings. 

 

Next PhD Forum: 13 December 2024, Nice campus
