Towards the end of the 2024 summer semester, the members of Finest in Finance (FiF) got together for a team-building event away from subject-specific content. This semester, the FiF members went canoeing on the Werse near Münster. Of course, there was a small internal competition to see which boat would reach the final destination the fastest. However, the focus was on having fun and relaxing after a stressful semester.

The Finance Center's first Women in Finance event took place at the end of May. The half-day event was aimed specifically at female students from the Business Administration Bachelor's and Finance Master's programs with an interest in finance. Together they were able to network with each other as well as with the invited speakers and take part in exciting workshops and presentations.

In June, our colleagues Leander Gayda, Paul Friedrich Hark, Jan Harren, Stefan Menze, Fabian Wening, Timo Wiedemann, as well as our external doctoral candidate Nadine Weuschek, presented their respective research papers at the 2024 European Conference of the Financial Management Association International (FMA). In addition to exciting discussions, presentations and pitch sessions, there was time to walk through the beautiful city with its wonderful alpine panorama.
