As the oldest conference on Finance in the German-speaking area, we are celebrating our 25th anniversary in the year 2005. Our Symposium traditionally promotes the exchange of ideas between theory and practice and offers an international forum for researchers and practitioners. The program will include plenary and contributed paper sessions.

One highlight of the previous events were the keynote speeches of well-known personalities from science and practice. For the year 2005, outstanding personalities are expected again, e.g. Darrell Duffie (Stanford University) accepted our invitation to give a speech.
