CEPRES SCIENTIFIC PARTNERS

JOHANN WOLFGANG GOETHE-UNIVERSITY OF FRANKFURT AM MAIN, DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE/CHAIR OF BANKING AND FINANCE

The University of Frankfurt [www.finance.uni-frankfurt.de] accommodates the largest finance department amongst all German universities. Its full-time faculty currently encompasses 13 full-time professors and assistant professors. In close cooperation with the Center for Financial Studies [www.ifk-cfs.de] , the department is committed to world-class research and education in the fields of financial markets, financial intermediaries and corporate finance. The Department of Finance looks back on a long and exceptional tradition. The adoption of modern finance theory into German business theory around 1970 took place almost exclusively via Frankfurt economists - a step that constituted a major milestone towards modernizing German business theory in general.

Prof. Dr. Mark Wahrenburg holds the Chair of Banking and Finance. Research and teaching of his chair centers around the functioning and management of financial intermediaries, encompassing such different institutions as commercial banks, investment banks, stock exchanges, as well as Private Equity intermediaries.

TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF MUNICH, DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE

As an integral part of the Technical University of Munich (TUM), the TUM Business School [www.wi.tum.de] combines technology and management in research and teaching, which is achieved by the cooperation between the business administration, natural sciences and engineering departments. The research fields combining these areas are Technology and Innovation Management, Service and Operations Management, Entrepreneurship and Finance. This exceptional interdisciplinary approach, with a strong focus on application-oriented and scientifically backed research at the interface of science and practice, is the differentiation between the TUM Business School and other business schools.

Prof. Dr. Christoph Kaserer is the dean of the TUM Business School and holds the Chair of Financial Management and Capital Markets. The research and teaching emphasis of his chair lies in the areas of Corporate Finance and Control, Empirical Research on Capital Markets, Bank- and Insurance Management as well as Risk- and Portfolio Management.
