                           Aarhus, Denmark



     Dear Colleague:


     As part of the European Financial Management Association
     2009 annual meetings, the European Financial Management
     journal will organize its annual seminar for advanced
     Finance Doctoral Students who are currently working on
     their dissertation. This intensive one day seminar is
     expected to be very valuable for the students who are
     interested to keep up with the recent developments in the
     finance literature and interact with leading scholars of
     the finance profession. Past participants include
     Professors Stephen Brown, Michael C. Jensen, Hayne Leland,
     Martin Gruber, Richard Roll, Geert Rouwenhorst, Mark
     Rubinstein, Kent Daniel, Steve Ross, Lisa Meulbroek, Shmuel
     Kandel, Ian Cooper, Benjamin Esty, John Doukas, Harisson
     Hong, Heitor Almeida, Yakov Amihud, Avanindhar
     Subrahmanyam, Robert Korajczyk, Jeffrey Wurgler, and
     Randall Morck among others. Less than 20 students will be
     accepted to the program. All participating students will
     receive a Certificate of Participation.


     To apply, a student (or his/her faculty advisor) should
     fill out the attached form and attach (2) copies of a three
     to five page dissertation proposal or abstract and send the
     material to me by email before December 20, 2009. All
     applications will be reviewed and invitations will be
     extended to student applicants by January 30, 2010.


     The program's format will consist of workshops featuring
     distinguished members of the finance profession, discussing
     corporate finance, asset pricing market micro structure,
     international finance, and financial institutions and
     intermediation, plus aspects of academic publishing and
     career development. An informal luncheon will follow the
     workshops. Small groups of students and academic tutors
     will be formed to discuss each student's dissertation
     topic, methodology and intended contribution. The Seminar
     will end with its traditional Certification Ceremony and a
     reception.


     I hope that you will bring this to the attention of your
     students and that you will select an applicant from your
     Ph.D. program.


     Sincerely,



     John Doukas
