Every two years since 2009, European universities in collaboration with the Centre for European Research in Microfinance (CERMi) and supported by the European Microfinance Platform (e-MFP) have organised the European Research Conference on Microfinance. The Research Conference is a unique event that gathers together high-level researchers, academics, professionals, and students ensuring that the latest research on the sector is disseminated to the whole microfinance community. Further information on previous editions of the conference is available here.

The 8th European Research Conference on Microfinance is being organized by the University of Bergamo, Italy. The conference is scheduled to take place in person from June 24 to June 26, 2024. The conference will delve into the role of microfinance in driving comprehensive transitions across economic, social, and environmental dimensions. During the three days of the conference, researchers from Europe and beyond, including early career researchers, graduate students, and practitioners with interest on academic research will uncover innovative strategies, evidence-based insights, and actionable recommendations to further advance the field of microfinance and transition.

We eagerly anticipate your participation and hope to welcome you in Bergamo where we will collectively explore and celebrate the transformative potential of microfinance in achieving comprehensive transformation into more sustainable societies.
