Wolpertinger 2025

The Wolpertinger Conference

Wolpertinger is the annual conference organised by the Wolpertinger Club (the European Association of University Teachers of Banking and Finance) which is an association of university academics with a shared interest in the economics and management of financial institutions and financial systems.

Wolpertinger was founded over 40 years ago by a group of professors to discuss their research, exchange their ideas and develop ways to co-operate in the research and teaching of banking, financial institutions and the economics of financial systems. Wolpertinger’s ethos of nurturing, sharing and collaborating, explains why established academics and aspiring doctoral candidates regularly attend its annual conference.

The very first Wolpertinger meeting took place in 1982 at Wurzburg in Bavaria, Germany. Since then, many universities have hosted Wolpertinger in Belgium, England, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Malta, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, and Wales. Now, it is the turn of the University of Surrey to host Wolpertinger. 

The main objective of the Wolpertinger conference is to present and discuss theoretical and empirical research, policy issues and contemporary developments in banking, financial intermediation and other related topics in the broad field of finance.
