The HoF building at the Westend Campus opened its doors in 2008 to provide a common roof for various departments and institutions at Goethe University Frankfurt dedicated to finance, economics, and law.
We are an incubator for new ideas
HoF is an interdisciplinary research community that is committed to generating new insights at the intersection of finance, economics, and law. Sharing our findings with the public and private sectors is an important aspect of our mission.
We are a hub for dialog and exchange
HoF is an important hub for knowledge sharing and networking in the domains of research and teaching. We enjoy close ties to a broad range of public and private institutions both within Germany and abroad.
