The INSOL Europe Academic Forum, founded in 2004, is a constituent body of INSOL Europe, a Europe-wide association of practitioners in insolvency. The Academic Forum’s primary mission is to:
- Engage in the representation of members interested in insolvency law and research,
- Encourage and assist in the development of research initiatives in the insolvency field, and
- Participate in the activities organised by INSOL Europe.
The Academic Forum hosts a conference each year prior to INSOL Europe’s Annual Congress. The conference maintains the highest academic standards, reflects cutting-edge developments in restructuring and insolvency, and fosters meaningful engagement between academics, judges, practitioners and policymakers.
