The European Finance Association Annual Meeting attracts about 650 renowned economists from top business schools and universities from around the world. Out of the 1,700 research papers submitted for presentation, only 200 are selected by a committee of academics from top universities around the world. This stringent selection process ensures the high quality of the finance research presented at the conference.

The conference hosts 70 sessions over two-and-a-half days, includes a doctoral tutorial and also serves as the venue for the formal EFA Annual Meeting. The conference comprises several social events that are excellent networking platforms.

USI Università della Svizzera italiana and the Swiss Finance Institute are proud to host the 41st Annual Meeting edition, taking place from August 27 to 30, 2014 at the Palazzo dei Congressi (Conference Center) in Lugano.
