Monthly Archives: März 2026

August 2-4, 2026, in Aarhus, Denmark

The objective of the Aarhus Finance Forum is to bring together researchers working in various areas of finance. The conference will feature several tracks reflecting research areas of particular interest to the finance section at Aarhus BSS, Aarhus University, as well as to the broader finance community.

The organization into different tracks allows for the presentation and discussion of a small number of excellent papers in each track, thereby providing ample time for discussion and networking. Each paper will be assigned a discussant.

The Aarhus Finance Forum will begin with a welcome reception on the evening of Sunday, August 2, 2026, and will feature a conference dinner on August 3, 2026.

Some tracks are supported by research grants held by the track chairs. These grants are funded by Independent Research Fund Denmark and the Carlsberg Foundation.
