by Karen Lai

The Global Network on Financial Geography (FinGeo) had a particularly successful series of sessions which also officially launched our research network. The newly elected FinGeo executive committee also held its first committee meeting within the School of Geography, Beijing Normal University.  All in all, a very productive and enjoyable week with colleagues and friends from around the world.
