Summer school 2015

1st International Summer School in Finance on the topic “Financial markets capital flows to the emerging economies – possibilities and transformations” has been developed as a cooperation between Henley Business School of Reading University (UK) and Educons University.

Emerging economies have seen a significant transformation in their constant striving to develop their capacities and strength. The development of financial markets remains one of the key challenges for emerging economies. They already have a solid basis in commercial banking but lack functioning financial markets, which have suffered a significant blow worldwide a few years ago. In order to facilitate the process of a financial markets development, it is important to start from the beginning, which is with research and education.

The lecturers at the Summer School in Finance were renowned professors from Henley Business School of Reading University (UK), Educons University, and professors from the member universities of the Alliance of Central-Eastern European Universities (ACEU). There were also host lecturers who are experts and policy makers from the Republic of Serbia and the region of Central and Eastern Europe in the field of Financial Markets.
