Description
Call for Papers

Inquire aims to promote investment management excellence by connecting investment professionals and leading researchers from academia and practice.

The theme of the seminar is "New risks in a changing political environment." We welcome submissions of innovative, high-quality research papers related to this theme. However, we will also consider other papers based on their potential relevance for investment practitioners.

Authors of selected papers will be invited to present in-person and Inquire will contribute towards the expenses incurred by one author. The Seminar begins with a social event on the Sunday evening and will end at lunchtime on Tuesday. A prize will be awarded for the best paper/presentation.

Submissions should include (1) a completed research paper; and (2) a short summary of your paper that explains why investment professionals should be interested in your paper. Optionally, you may upload other materials with your submission such as presentation slides or a link to a short video podcast introducing your paper.

Please upload your submissions at https://forms.gle/LzbNdzchxPaZf8Pd7 by 23.59 BST on 1 June 2026. Early submissions are preferred and strongly encouraged.
