The Centre for Enterprise Liability at the University of Copenhagen invites papers on The Responsible Consumer in the Digital Age – International and Nordic Perspectives on Consumer Financial Protection. The conference will be held May 31-June 1, 2018.
The conference aims to provide a forum where leading academics and practitioners, researchers, and enforcement officials from multiple jurisdictions join to present and discuss the most recent trends and challenges related to consumer financial protection in the digital age, as they stem from the latest normative developments and court cases.
The conference has a strong focus and emphasis on Nordic perspectives and solutions. Nordic markets have their particularities and Nordic countries adopt joint solutions, which are not sufficiently advertised to other jurisdictions. The conference panels and the ‘Nordic Round Table’ event will make these perspectives widely known and will facilitate dialogue and share of ideas between Nordic jurisdictions and the rest of the world.
The conference call is open to papers addressing topics that range from the emergence and expansion of digital currencies and cyber-fraud, the effects of the Mortgage Directive and the new concept of “responsible consumer,” investments and capital markets, enforcement policies and initiatives, to risks and liability related to consumer debtor protection and abusive debt collection practices. The conference particularly welcomes papers addressing consumer financial protection from a Nordic and comparative perspective.
Proposal deadline: Proposals must be submitted with a suggested title, author’s name and affiliation, an abstract not exceeding 500 words and an indication of the panel, by email to Dr. Catalin Gabriel Stanescu (catalin-gabriel.stanescu[@jur.ku.dk) until February 1, 2018.]
