FX Lectures

As part of the International Finance Society’s mission, we are running an FX Lecture Series. We are grateful to Prof. Nick Roussanov for delivering a lecture on the topic "Macro Finance across Borders" at the University of Basel from 15 to 17 June 2026. 

While the program is designed for PhD students, all interested participants are welcome. Due to limited capacity, participation will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Participants are responsible for arranging their own travel from Gerzensee to Basel, as well as accommodation in Basel. Registration is now closed.

For logistics questions about the Lectures please contact Aline Lingg: aline.lingg@unibas.ch

Location 

Juristische Fakultät, Pro Iure Aditorium EG.44

• Pratteln (~10–15 minutes)

• Rheinfelden (~15–20 minutes)

• Liestal (~15–20 minutes)

• Mulhouse, France (~25 minutes)

• Lörrach, Germany (~25 minutes)

• Olten (~20–30 minutes)
