FinTech Workshop
FinTech Workshop:
The FinTech Workshop is a series of academic seminars organized by the National School of Development at Peking University and the Institute of Digital Finance led by Professor Yiping Huang. We invite leading scholars from top universities, central banks, and international organizations as our speakers to present their recent work on FinTech, banking, and the digital economy.
The FinTech workshop takes place every Tuesday in a hybrid format (Zoom + on-site in Beijing).
