The Edinburgh Finance Conference (EFC) is one of the largest student-run, non-profit finance conferences in the UK. Our mission is to inspire the leaders of tomorrow through captivating presentations while giving them a chance to connect. Bringing leading academics from all disciplines and various universities across the UK together with industry experts, EFC is offering itself as a platform for synergy and problem-solving. We see cross-disciplinary work as a vital driver of pioneering developments. Partnership and research is an integral part of innovation and, therefore, an integral part of our conference. We hope that this conference will serve as a platform to encourage dialogue in order to realise this potential.
