The attendance at the MEAFA Forum on the Crisis in Financial Markets has exceeded our expectations with more than 60 participants from 10 disciplines across the Faculty of Economics and Business plus externals from the private sector and regulatory bodies. The forum comprised of a number of short talks from distinguished scholars from the University of Sydney (from the FEB and the US Studies Centre), covering an eclectic range of topics related to the global financial crisis.

Due to overwhelming demand, we had to transfer the forum to a venue with greater capacity.

Academics need to take a more active role in the debate for identifying the causes, understanding the consequences and suggesting remedies for the current global financial crisis.
