From 8 to 13 February 2009, oikos and the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment Initiative (PRI) will host the first oikos/PRI Young Scholars Finance Academy.

The annual programme seeks to promote high-impact scholarship in responsible finance and will gather leading academics, practitioners and exceptional graduate students and young faculty pursuing research related to issues of integration, engagement and transparency in responsible investment.
