Kasper Roszbach Professor of Banking and Finance

As of 1 September 2009, Kasper Roszbach will be appointed part-time professor at the Faculty of Economics and Business of the University of Groningen. He will fill the chair in Banking and Finance.

He has many valuable contacts through his post as research director at the Swedish national bank and through the role he plays in international networks and at international conferences. Roszbach will contribute in particular to the Research Master’s degree programme and to the supervision of PhD students in the field of Banking and Finance.
