ABOUT THE EVENT
Â
The John L. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance and the Department of Finance at the Lerner College of Business and Economics, at the University of Delaware, hosted its 2022 annual corporate governance symposium online in collaboration with the European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI).
The symposium featured the two winning papers of the 2022 John L. Weinberg/IRRCi Research Paper Award competition which highlighted innovative research and includes an award of USD 10,000. It focused on ESG-related topics (broadly defined).
The winning papers were presented and discussed together with the eight semi-finalist’s papers for the prize. The full programme is available here.
This research competition is the successor to the IRRCi Investor Research Paper Award, which had become a prominent award garnering significant attention amongst the investment community, academia and policymakers. The John L. Weinberg/IRRCi Research Paper Award, as its predecessor did, highlights innovative research. Details of last year's programme and award winners are available here.
General inquiries regarding the competition or the Symposium should be directed to Louisa Cresson at Weinberg-corp-gov@udel.edu.
Â
Please note that the selection of winners/finalists, if any, is at the sole discretion of the John L. Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance. The Weinberg Center fully anticipates awarding two $10,000 prizes, but reserves the right to select no papers as winners in the event papers submitted do not meet the above guidelines and/or the Center does not believe any paper is worthy of the award. Submissions are no longer being accepted for this event.
