Manuel Rocha Armada, retired full
professor at the School of Economics and Management and emeritus professor at
the University of Minho, will be co-chairing the most important European
Finance Conference, the European Financial Management Association 2024 Annual
Meeting, for the third time. The conference will take place at the Instituto
Superior de Economia e Gestão (ISEG) in Lisbon from 26 to 29 June 2024. The Conference Keynote Speaker will be
Professor Robert F. Stambaugh from The Wharton School, University of
Pennsylvania. The European Financial Management Association (EFMA) was founded
in 1991 by Professor John Doukas with the aim of encouraging research and
disseminating knowledge on financial decision-making in all financial areas
related to European companies, financial institutions and capital markets. To
achieve its goal, the European Financial Management Association provides its
members with a reference journal, European Financial Management, and organises
annual meetings at which members exchange ideas, present and discuss their
research.
Professor Manuel Rocha Armada will
also be a guest speaker at a Conference on Accounting and Finance, to be held
at the Federal University of Uberlândia, in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil,
between 18 and 20 October. The theme presented at the Conference by Professor
Rocha Armada will be "Reflections on challenges and emerging horizons in
Accounting and Finance" and he has been presented as a speaker with great
enthusiasm by the Federal University of Uberlândia. The main aim of the
conference is to prepare for the future of the Accounting and Finance
profession by exploring disruptive trends and promising paths, giving
participants the chance to connect with transformative ideas.
On 12 September 2023, the same professor
took part as a moderator in the "International Virtual Research Seminars
in Finance Series", with the theme "Gambling for redemption or
ripoff, and the impact of superpriority", organised by The Finance
Research Consortium (IFRC) and the Financial Management Association
International (FMA). The seminars, which took place on the Zoom platform, were
given by Professor Philip Dybvig, winner of the 2022 Nobel Prize in Economics,
and included international universities, including the School of Economics and
Management at the University of Minho.
