Academic Committee

The GREIT-Academic Committee is responsible for organising the practical aspects of the GREIT-seminars and to provide input on academic issues. In order to prepare the GREIT 2010 Seminar, the Academic Committee formed a working group which consist of prof. Pasquale Pistone (Vienna University of Economics and Business) and prof. Georg Kofler (University of Linz). See for more info the work rules.
 

Open Network

The GREIT started up on an informal basis in Lund, Sweden, in 2006 during the first seminar entitled, ‘The effect of the ECJ´s ruling on member States direct income tax laws’. Each year, the GREIT organises a seminar on a certain topic in the area of European and international taxation. In 2009, the group launched the GREIT Lisbon summer course on European Taxation and the GREIT-Linkedin group.
 
The GREIT activities are open to all who are interested. If you are interested in becoming a friend of the GREIT and being kept up to date with its activities, visit the GREIT group on LINKEDIN.
