DART Accounting Workshop

In January, the traditional annual two-day DART workshop was held in person at the University of Graz, after being held online for three years. Participants from the University of Vienna, the University of Frankfurt and the University of Mannheim attended the event. The workshop was organized by Rainer Niemann from CAR. DART students Martin Klösch, Klaus Haider, Bettina Mandl and Daniel Fabisch presented recent research, while DART student Thomas Müllner and DART alumni Sandra Kronenberger (now a junior professor at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz) and Sebastian Kronenberger (now at University of Mannheim) discussed the work of PhD students from Frankfurt and Mannheim. Pascal Frantz from the London School of Economics, who visited the University of Graz in January, and Lazaros Papadopoulos from the University of Frankfurt also discussed papers. The audience provided many helpful comments and suggestions for improving the papers. The papers presented covered archival and analytical research methods, and several papers addressed ESG issues. The lunches, coffee breaks, and dinner on the first evening provided an informal atmosphere for the DART students to expand their academic and social network.
