The CEPR/ Assonime Programme on Restarting European Long-Term Investment Finance (RELTIF) is entering its second phase.  In January of this year the programme produced its first report (a Green Paper) on European corporate finance.

This identified a number of areas of research it was intended should be pursued in the second phase.  Following a meeting of academic researchers in Oxford in March, a call for proposals for research projects relevant to the research programme was put out and in response a large number of proposals were received.
