Wider Initiatives
In 2005 Michael, Z/Yen, Gresham College, the City of London Corporation and forty financial institutions launched the London Accord, the world's largest investment research cooperative into environmental, social and governance issues, publishing over 200 reports. In 2007 Michael, Gresham College, Z/Yen and a group of interested and motivated individuals launched the Long Finance initiative. The aim is to promote discussion, research and education about finance and starts with the question: "When would we know our financial system is working?" Long Finance holds numerous, mostly no cost, events for the public. Professor Mainelli delivered the AEA Technology Wolfson College Lecture at Oxford, "Financing Technology", in February 2010. Professor Mainelli was a keynote speaker at Robert J. Rubinstein's TBLI Conference Europe in November 2010. Professor Mainelli is also championing the Long Finance Confidence Accounting proposal.

Famous quotes containing the words wider and/or initiatives:
“It is not stressful circumstances, as such, that do harm to children. Rather, it is the quality of their interpersonal relationships and their transactions with the wider social and material environment that lead to behavioral, emotional, and physical health problems. If stress matters, it is in terms of how it influences the relationships that are important to the child.”
—Felton Earls (20th century)
“It is well known, that the best productions of the best human intellects, are generally regarded by those intellects as mere immature freshman exercises, wholly worthless in themselves, except as initiatives for entering the great University of God after death.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
