    Public Lectures 

    The title of this talk is a nod to Jackie Sibblies Drury’s play, “We are proud to present a presentation…”; it is structured as a rehearsal of a play about the German genocide against the Herero people of Namibia. This structure echoes the familiar discussion of the genocide against the Herero and Nama peoples as a rehearsal for the holocaust.

    MAR 2.08 Marshall Building, 44 Lincoln's Inn Fields, LSE

    Speakers: Professor Veerle Heyvaert, Professor Christina Voigt, Margherita Cornaglia, Kate Highham and Marc Willers KC

    Climate Change Litigation is a growing global phenomenon. The Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change has recognised that such litigation may influence the “outcome and ambition” of climate governance.

  • FinTech and digital finance: (Session 5: Converging markets, bigtech and the law)

    MAR 2.08 Marshall Building, 44 Lincoln's Inn Fields, LSE
    Convene 
    Speaker: Dr Philipp Paech (LSE); Elisabeth Noble (European Banking Authority)

    Building on session 4 (2 February), this session will highlight the direct and indirect presence of BigTechs in the financial market is growing, although their precise footprint differs between major financial centres. This raises various regulatory dilemmas, including in the areas of competition, data protection and financial stability. In this session we will explore the different roles that BigTechs are playing in the financial system, and emerging regulatory responses at the international level intended to balance both the opportunities and risks arising from the rise of BigTech in finance.
