Dear partners, clients and fellows.
Due to the UK leaving the European Union finally in 2020, the EU has ceased all collaborations in research and research mobilitiy with the UK. Furthermore, the EU regulations on financial market stability will deviate in the future from the specific UK ones.
Therefore, the ACRN Oxford Ltd. board has decided to end its activities in the UK and close the centre. Thank you for wonderful years, I will move on to Finland as director of the Hanken Center of Accounting, Finance and Governance at the Hanken School of Economics in Helsinki.

Director
About:
The ACRN Oxford Research Center was originally founded as a joint venture by three leading European business schools of renowned universities from Austria, Finland and the UK to transfer academic know how on sustainable finance, risk and accounting into the industry and furthermore promote and host academic conferences and summer-schools in finance, risk and accounting, as well as to advance methodological know-how for doctoral students and young researchers.
It is now a distinct (non profit) research entity with a clear impact mission and a highly respected international academic advisory board overseeing its corporate governance, firmly embedded in the broader Oxford research and publication landscape. Our board members
