Update from organising committee

Dear all

In view of the health emergency caused by COVID-19, we have made the difficult but necessary decision to postpone the EFiC 2020 Conference in Banking and Corporate Finance.

We regret that we can not go ahead with the firth edition of the conference as planned, as we had a volume of interesting submissions, but in these extraordinary times out first priority is everyone's health and safety.

As soon as we have a date for EFiC 2021 Conference we will communicate the details.

 We hope that you and those around you are safe and we look forward to seeing you next year.

best wishes

Anna, Claudia, Sotirios
