CSP Expands to New Territories
We have news! Autumn is traditionally the time of new beginnings, and this year autumn brings CSP something special: we are piloting our first step into a new geographical region. I have accepted the additional role as Assistant Professor of Social Finance at EBS University Business School near Wiesbaden/Frankfurt. In practice, this will mean more research in sustainable finance, more reach, and more impact. All steps the world needs now more than ever.
This is a strategic step ahead for CSP that we are very excited about. I will continue leading CSP together with our COO Heather Kirk and Head of Research Julian Kölbel as well as our driven team of impact specialists. Examples of what is to come in the next few days, weeks, and months below. These examples are all tools and opportunities to support you in your journey towards maximized impact.
Sincerely,
Managing Director and Initiator

The Sustainable Finance Research Seminar Brings Global Sustainability Scholars Together to Debate, Discuss, and Push for Better Research
One of CSP’s longtime efforts saw daylight this spring with the launch of the Center of Competence for Sustainable Finance — the biggest interdisciplinary university center dedicated to research in sustainable finance. The Center of Competence starts the autumn semester full steam ahead with its Sustainable Finance Research Seminar kicked off this week. The seminar is a joint effort of the Center of Competence and CSP with experts ranging from Harvard, Shanghai, Zurich, Los Angeles, and beyond.
