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.

From 2008 until mid-2009 Roszbach was a special advisor to the crisis group of the Swedish Ministry of Finance.
