European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI)

The European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI) was founded in 2002.  It has been established to improve corporate governance through fostering independent scientific research and related activities.  The ECGI produces high quality independent scientific research while remaining close to the concerns and interests of corporate, financial and public policy makers.  It draws on the expertise of scholars from numerous countries and brings together a critical mass of expertise and interest to bear on this important subject.


European Corporate Governance Training Network (ECGTN)

The European Corporate Governance Training Network (ECGTN) aims to reduce the European research and training gap in corporate governance by bringing together Europe's leading academics and institutions from law, economics, finance, political economy and management to train doctoral students in conducting world class research in this area. The ECGTN project is funded by the European Commission under the Marie Curie Research Actions. Its duration is 48 months, starting in June 2004.


Swedish Centre for Business and Policy Studies (SNS)

SNS is an independent network of leading decision makers from the private and public sectors who share a commitment to social and economic development in Sweden.

Its aim is to improve the basis for rational decisions on major social and economic issues, by promoting social science research and stimulating public debate.


Review of Finance (RoF)

The Review of Finance is a peer-reviewed journal that competes for the best articles in the field of finance and aims at a wide circulation and visibility in the profession. The journal’s editorial policy is guided by two criteria: quality and innovation. The board welcomes submissions of high-quality papers in all areas of financial economics: established areas such as asset pricing, corporate finance, banking and market microstructure, but also newly developing fields such as law and finance, behavioral finance and experimental finance.

Being the journal of the European Finance Association, the Review of Finance enjoys the solid support of the Association’s members. At the same time, it aims to be a resource for the world community of finance researchers, open to exciting and novel contributions from authors around the globe. From time to time, the journal publishes special issues on timely topics.

The board is committed to a fast, electronically managed, editorial process. In particular, its “fast-track review” process ensures an editorial decision in 2 weeks.

The Saïd Business School (SBS)

Established in 1996, Oxford University’s Saïd Business School is Europe’s fastest-growing business school, with a reputation for innovative business education.

SBS faculty is engaged in boundary-extending research on key management issues, in dialogue with the wider intellectual community and with practitioners.
