CAF aims to disseminate the research-based knowledge among all CAF constituencies, academicians, practitioners, regulators and policy-makers. For this purpose, CAF organises lectures, seminars, workshops, and conferences on topics in emerging market finance. The aim of these is to bring together opinion leaders – academics, practitioners and regulators – to share knowledge in all areas of finance, and identify key strategic issues related to finance sector reform in emerging economies. CAF also creates forums on important policy issues where corporate executives, academics, and policy makers get together to discuss current market challenges and solutions.

Policy Conferences
CAF Policy Conference is a special event. For each policy conference, a socially relevant and important business topic is chosen with the conscious aim to bring together, on a single platform, the world leaders among academicians, practitioners and policy-makers who share an interest in the topic. Within the broad topic, the most important issues are identified and a panel of experts discusses and debates each issue.

Research Conferences
CAF organises two academic research conferences each year, one in the summer and the other in the spring jointly with its two partner institutions: Financial Institutions Center (FIC) at the Wharton School and the Swedish Institute for Financial Research (SIFR). CAF summer research conference is held on the ISB campus in Hyderabad, while the CAF - FIC - SIFR conference rotates between Philadelphia, Stockholm, and Hyderabad. The research conferences have evolved into major international research forums and attract submissions from finance researchers around the world. For each conference, the papers are selected by a world-wide committee of experts in the topic of the conference.
