CfP: European Winter Finance Conference (EWFC), 2011, Switzerland

The EWFC is a small informal conference. Participants arrive on Sunday evening, 16 January and depart on Thursday morning, 20 January. Sessions take place Monday - Wednesday. The programme allows for nine papers with discussants. Presentations last 45 minutes, with 15 minutes for the discussant and 15 minutes for general discussion.
There is an early morning session and a late afternoon session.

The conference will take place at the Hotel 3 Könige & Post in Andermatt, Switzerland. This is a traditional hotel will good facilities. Space availability limits the size of the conference to around 25 participants. Accomodation will be at the 3 Könige & Post and a neighbouring hotel.

The hotel is easily accessible. Trains run every hour from Zurich airport with a transit time of just over two hours. The SBB website gives details of connections. There are also fast international train connections to Italy and Germany.

There is no registration fee for the EWFC. Participants cover their own expenses. The hotel cost will be CHF215 per night including dinner (approx $198, Euro150, £130). (A few small rooms will be available at a lower rate of CHF160, and we also may be able to offer partial assistance to a few participants who do not have access to research
funding - if this applies to you please mention on the application form).

Most participants ski, and the conference schedule allows for this. The cable car is close the hotel. Ski-ing is not formally organised but in practise participants at the conference ski together in different groups depending on preferences. Andermatt has long been popular with hardcore skiers yet remains relatively unknown as an
international resort. The town has a charming, unspoiled atmosphere. Since a major development project is planned for the resort, this may be the last chance to experience the "classic" feel of Andermatt.

The call for papers will be issued in June 2010. The deadline for applications will be on 15 October 2010. We will reply by 15 November 2010.
