30 PhD students engaged with cutting-edge research in corporate governance, including investor activism, the role of asset managers, executive incentives, and organisational economics.

Last week, the FMG welcomed 30 PhD students from around the world to our inaugural Corporate Governance Summer School — and we were delighted to see them enjoy such a rewarding experience.

Students also had the opportunity to have lively discussions and exchanges with our esteemed professors, including Mike Burkart, Amil Dasgupta, Daniel Ferreira, and @DirkJenter from LSE Finance and the FMG.
