Seminar Thesis

Seminars typically focus on specific core areas, such as earnings management, accounting, capital markets, or game theoretic approaches in accounting. A seminar consists of a seminar paper and a presentation. For the preparation of the seminar paper, the chair offers two writing phases from which students can freely choose.

In the fall-winter semester 2025, the Simons Chair once again hosts the accounting seminar together with the chair of Prof. Daske. The topic of the seminar series in 2025 is: “Disclosure Regulation, Politics, and Innovation”.

The examination consists of a written seminar thesis and a presentation. Applications for seminar places are accepted until June 16 (first writing phase) and August 28, 2025 (second writing phase). The first application deadline refers to the earlier of the two offered writing phases, which takes place from June 23 to August 18. The second writing phase begins on September 4 and ends on October 30. The seminar presentations take place on November 13 and 14.
