About the event

The Global Corporate Governance Colloquia (GCGC) is a global initiative to bring together the best research in law, economics, and finance relating to corporate governance at a yearly conference held at 12 leading universities in the Americas, Asia and Europe. The 12 hosting institutions are:

Columbia University,  Harvard University,  Imperial College London,  National University of Singapore,  Peking University,  Seoul National University,  Stanford University,  Stockholm University,  University of Oxford,  University of Tokyo, Yale University and Goethe University Frankfurt (Leibniz Institute for Financial Research SAFE and DFG LawFin Center).

The conference series aims to attract current research papers of the highest scholarly quality in the field of corporate governance. The conferences are primarily ‘academic to academic’ events with some participants from industry and the public sector, including the practitioner partners of GCGC and other invited panelists. Japan Exchange Group (JPX) is a Practitioner Partner.

The thirteenth annual GCGC Conference will be hosted by Yale University in New Haven, USA, on 11-12 June 2027. The Conference Committee is inviting researchers to submit recent papers or extended abstracts on corporate governance (no maximum word count).

In this context, corporate governance refers to the way in which private and public companies, enterprises, entrepreneurship, and financial institutions are governed and run in relation to their purpose, values, ownership, representation, accountability, financing, investment, performance, leadership, direction, management, employment, law, regulation, and taxation. Papers will be selected for presentation from the submissions received. Ideally, these submissions should be based on new research that has not been presented before. Each paper will be assigned a discussant, and there will be ample time for questions and comments from the audience.

PAPER SELECTION PROCEDURE

A selection will be made by the Conference Committee from papers and extended abstracts that are submitted online before the deadline of 23 October 2026 (midnight CEST) through this submission page (click here). The organisers aim to notify researchers whether their paper has been accepted for the conference before 31 January 2027.

ORGANISATION

The conference will take place over two days. In addition to the research presentations, there will be two panel discussions involving participants from industry and the public sector. The conference dinner will be held on the evening of 11 June, and the organisers may contribute towards the travel cost and provide up to three nights of hotel accommodation for the presenters.
