2025: Autumn Workshop (Milan, 17 October 2025)

The 2025 Autumn Workshop of the Financial Intermediation Network of European Studies (FINEST) is held in Milan on Friday 17 October 2025. The workshop is jointly organized by the University of Essex and the University of Milan.

Financial Intermediation Network of European Studies (FINEST) workshops are small meetings with an in-depth discussion (from top scholars) of a limited number of high-quality papers to foster discussion among academics, policymakers, and practitioners about the evolving challenges facing banks. In the 2025 Autumn Workshop, we accepted five full papers for presentation and three early idea proposals.

We invite submission of papers (or research proposals for the early idea session) in all areas related to financial intermediation, including bank risk-taking, regulation, supervision, financial stability, ownership structure and governance issues, market structure and competition, FinTech, and with a focus on sustainable finance and policy changes.
