Industrial-Academic Forum on Commodities, Energy Markets, and Emissions Trading
Description
This two day workshop will bring together industry practitioners and academics to discuss burning issues in the commodity markets brought to the forefront by the recent economic and financial crises, and the ongoing debate about the role of market mechanisms in the fight against climate change and global warming. We envisage a series of talks by established academic experts and prominent leaders in the industry, followed a session of shorter presentations by young researchers in the area. An important part of the exchanges will take place during two panel discussions bringing together academics and practitioners.
