Finance PhD Pitch Perfect

Turning research ideas into research papers can be hard. It is therefore key for PhD students to get feedback early in the research process. The goal of the Finance PhD Pitch Perfect is precisely it: to give students an opportunity to present their unpolished ideas and receive feedback from accomplished researchers in the field.

Together with our coaches, students will discuss important questions such as: What makes a research question worthwhile pursuing? How to attack a research question? How to pitch an early-stage idea?

Finance PhD Pitch Perfect also aims at facilitating potential collaborations, among students at different Universities and between students and faculty members.
