2nd IAF PhD Conference
at University College Cork
on 21st May 2025 14:00-18:00 hrs

PhD Conference Schedule is now available HERE

The main objective of the conference is to provide PhD students in finance in their 3rd or 4th year of study, about to go on the job market, with an opportunity to present their research to their peers and leading researchers in the field in order to obtain feedback and practice the presentation of their key research ideas.
An added bonus is that those who present will also be invited to attend as a delegate (free of charge, including hotel accommodation) the main IAF Annual Conference which will be held the next two days at the same location (see, https://iafireland.ie/).

It will allow presenting PhD students to network with senior academics and researchers from Ireland and abroad. We invite submissions of complete papers from PhD students who are registered for their research degree at an institutional member of the IAF and are in their penultimate or final year. The papers can come from any area in finance.

The conference will commence at 2pm on Wednesday 21st May and will end by 6pm.

The venue is The Dr Dora Allman Room, Student Hub, University College Cork. The IAF will cover travel (public transport – upon submission of receipts) within
Ireland and accommodation of participants (at Lancaster Lodge, Cork City), if required.
