    Call for Papers

    We invite submissions for our second annual academic symposium on crowdfunding (CF), sponsored by the Coleman
    Fung Institute for Engineering Leadership, UC Berkeley College of Engineering, on September 11th and 12th, 2014. Like
    the first conference, this second gathering will bring together academics, practitioners, and policy makers. We
    welcome submissions from a wide array of scholars, including those in the social sciences, policy, law, economics as
    well as traditional business, entrepreneurship and innovation scholars.
    This symposium will take a global look at the developing phenomena of social finance for SMEs and Innovation -
    whether strictly crowdfunding or more broadly the application of social finance mechanisms including Peer-to-Peer
    lending, Peer-to-Business lending, and all other forms of crowdfunding and crowdfund investing. Since our 2013
    conference, the number of platforms has more than doubled, and despite significant delays in enacting rules to allow
    equity crowdfunding in the United States, many nations have adopted laws and rules to allow crowdfunding.
    There has also been significant interest from NGOs, Foundations, Philanthropic groups, universities, and other groups in
    the application of crowdfunding mechanisms to solve both complex global challenges as well as fund hyper-local
    programs.
    The conference will begin with lunch on Thursday, September 11th and includes dinner that evening. It concludes in
    the afternoon of September 12th. Consistent with our model from last year, we are inviting distinguished scholars to
    present their views during moderated panels, as well as top thought leaders internationally. This format allows for the
    exchange of best practices, questions and research insights from leaders in the international community.
    The following list of questions may serve as a guide for submissions, but we welcome research papers that fit broadly
    within the discussion of crowdfunding and how it is evolving. Send proposals to Hazel Palaski -
