- Corporate purpose, values, ownership, and accountability
- Financing, leadership, and management of firms
- Corporate and securities law and regulation
- Governance of financial institutions
- Taxation and corporate governance
Who May Submit
The colloquium is primarily academic-to-academic, with select industry and public sector participants. Researchers are invited to submit recent papers or extended abstracts on corporate governance (no maximum word count). Full papers are preferred to extended abstracts, though early drafts will be considered. Submissions should ideally involve new research not previously presented.

Papers and extended abstracts are submitted online through the official GCGC submission portal on Submittable. The submission deadline is 23 October 2026 (midnight CEST). Organisers aim to notify accepted researchers before 31 January 2027. Attendance at the colloquium is strictly by invitation only and the number of places is limited.
