This year’s annual meeting of the “Deutsche Gesellschaft für Finanzwirtschaft” (DGF) took place in the beautiful City of Aachen, organized and hosted by RWTH Aachen and FH Aachen. Nicole Branger, Christoph Schneider, Timo Wiedemann, Jan Harren, Paul Friedrich Hark, and Fiona Hoellmann from the Finance Center Münster presented their work on a huge variety of finance topics. Our FCM team enjoyed the fruitful discussions and was delighted to make new contacts, meet up with friends, and intensify research collaborations. Furthermore, all participants were able to get some insights into the long history of Aachen.
