The Young Researchers Group (YRG) of the EBI is an inter-disciplinary and international platform for exchange and mutual learning for early stage researchers in the rapidly developing area of banking and financial law and policy. Under the wings of the EBI, the YRG conducts research and promotes dialogue between young researchers in relation to issues pertaining to banking and financial regulation. Members of the YRG of the EBI have the opportunity to present their research during several events a year, to meet scholars, regulators and industry representatives, to discuss their research with them, to organise events and to publish research papers with the EBI.

Please feel free to forward this call for papers to interested PhD and post-doctoral researchers within your network or institution.
