Annual Meeting 2020 of the German Finance Association POSTPONED TO 2021

Due to the Covid19 pandemic, the annual meeting 2020 of the German Finance Association at University of Innsbruck is cancelled and will be postponed to 2021.

Given the uncertainty in particular with respect to travel restrictions and restrictions on large-scale conventions, it is highly uncertain if the conference can take place in the usual quality and if it can offer participants the expected experience. Therefore, in accordance with the leadership board of the German Finance Association, we decided to postpone the meeting in Innsbruck by one year to October 2021. An exact date as well as more detailed information will be communicated soon.
