Challenges for financial markets
Organized by
International Business School at Vilnius University (Lithuania)
EuroMed Research Business Institute
Kozminski University (Poland)
The global financial crisis of 2008 and the economic turmoil it created in the years following have forced a transformation in fundamental business models, beginning with the evaporation of almost entire industry sectors, e.g. investment banking, derivative market, mortgage banking shrink-down and etc. The 2008-2009 global crisis was not only a financial calamity, but also a major ethical disaster.
The aim of the Conference is to provide a grammar for dissecting the financial crisis as well as to examine reform proposals aimed at creating a more secure and stable financial system.
The Conference will provide an overview of the unfolding crisis, its devastation of the world economy; will give plenty of recommendations to investors, institutions, regulators, banks and scientists to act in a concerted way to prevent such crises in the future; will provide an opportunity for scientists, managers and professionals from around the world to sum up the achievements and to highlight the problems as well as to once again discuss cutting edge research. Such a Conference would be an excellent opportunity to meet colleagues, to exchange knowledge and experience, and to extend list of contacts. In addition to key note speeches and conference presentations, science, business and government representatives will cross-fertilize their views in round table discussions and workshops.
