Submission Process

We encourage proposals for interactive discussion panels that explore practical insights, real-world experiences, and emerging trends related to impact investing. Panels will systematically mix academics with practitioners (impact investors, social entrepreneurs, impact evaluators, etc.) and, when relevant, policy-makers at different levels (local, national, international). 
Panel proposals should include a brief abstract outlining the topics to be covered and the names and affiliations of 1-2 practitioners or policy-makers and 1-2 academics. Please pre-confirm with the expected panelists their availabilities. 

• Submission deadline for discussion panels: January 5th 2025.

We invite researchers to submit original, previously unpublished academic papers on topics related to impact investing. Submissions should present rigorous research that contribute to the theoretical, empirical, or practical understanding of impact investing. All papers will undergo a double blinded peer-review process to ensure the quality and relevance of the content. Submit either a full paper or an extended abstract as a single blinded PDF document. Every paper will be discussed by a dedicated discussant. 

• Submission deadline for academic papers: January 5th 2025.

We invite PhD students working in the impact investing field to attend the PhD workshop on April 4th. This specific moment, dedicated to junior scholars, will contribute to building an international community of impact investing researchers, to improve their research projects, methodological skills and to share empirical and theoretical opportunities.
