economics and financial industry professionals (financial
intermediaries, investors and managers, issuers and companies involved
in the financial markets) - in France and in Europe. The Institute's
founders are committed to developing and sustaining such initiatives.
As in previous years, our Foundation is launching a renewed call for
research projects in 2014. This call for projects is intended for all

importance in the current context. These issues are organized around
four themes:
Macroeconomics
Management techniques and modeling
Risks and regulation
Investment and investor behavior
Please see http://www.europlace-finance.net/call2014/Topics_2014.pdf
