For more than 25 years, the Institute of Banking at the University of Münster has held a workshop in the fall at which seven research papers on banking topics are presented. Each paper is presented in a time frame of 60 minutes in total, including the presentation itself, a co-presentation and a general discussion. "This intensive engagement with the topics is highly appreciated by all participant:s" comments Prof. Dr. Dr. h. c. Andreas Pfingsten as organizer of the format.
