Prof. Judith Hardt, who co-teaches the Financial Infrastructures course, is the Managing Director of the Swiss Finance Council and she organised one of this year’s landmark financial conferences in Europe a couple of weeks ago: the 4th SFC Annual Conference in Brussels.

Among the key speakers were Axel Weber, the chairman of UBS, Urs Rohner, Chairman of Credit Suisse, Valdis Dombrovskis, EU Commissioner and Elke König, Chairperson of the Single Resolution Board, among many others.


With over 350 participants, this annual conference has become a “must go” event for anyone involved in financial services at EU level.

This year’s event gathered top industry leaders and high-level EU and international officials to discuss regulatory cooperation post Brexit as well as how to take sustainable finance from niche to mainstream. For more information visit swissfinancecouncil.org.
