Today marks the beginning of our campaign celebrating 25 years of the FESE De la Vega Prize, which since the year 2000 has supported and recognised young scholars researching European financial markets.
The Prize honours the legacy of Joseph De la Vega, a pioneering 17th-century academic whose work on investor behaviour and market dynamics remains relevant today. Just as he sought to increase understanding and illuminate the workings of markets, the Prize continues this mission by encouraging research that bridges academic insight with the practical realities of financial decision-making.
Over the coming weeks, we will share testimonials from past winners, showing how the FESE De la Vega Prize has shaped their careers and amplified their impact on financial research. These stories highlight the prize’s role in bridging academic excellence with real-world financial decisions.
We will also introduce our jury members, who will share why the prize matters and how it connects rigorous research with the realities of European financial markets, reflecting FESE’s commitment to advancing public market understanding and high-quality research.
As we celebrate this milestone, we invite you to join us in recognising the next generation of academics shaping the future of Europe’s public markets.
