- Ends:13:00, 7 March 2025
- Location:BI - campus Oslo, room: A1-030
Oslo Business Region, AW Magazine, ABG Sundal Collier Foundation for Women in Finance, and BI ºÚÁÏרÇø Business School join forces to celebrate International Women’s Day.
We invite you to an inspiring event highlighting women’s representation on boards, in finance, and entrepreneurship. Together, we will discuss the challenges, barriers, and most importantly, the opportunities.
We ask why are women still significantly underrepresented in the financial sector and in finance studies? Why are there so few female finance researchers? How can we encourage women to take positions on boards? What role does women play in value creation in ºÚÁÏרÇø businesses? And how do women steer their finances?
Our programme invites you to a conversation about what the research and data reveal about gender disparities, and where can we find the best examples of progress and role models.
