Founded in 1986, the Harvard Law School Program on International Financial Systems (PIFS) fosters the exchange of ideas on capital markets, financial regulation, and international financial systems through its acclaimed portfolio of Symposia on Building the Financial System of the 21st Century. PIFS also conducts research and organizes special events on these topics. Each year, PIFS bilateral Symposia bring together senior financial leaders, high-ranking government officials, and distinguished academics from the United States and their counterparts from China, Europe, Japan, and Brazil for intensive dialogue on issues affecting international capital markets.

"Nearly 25 years ago, I launched the Harvard Law School Program on International Financial Systems to generate timely and comprehensive research on capital markets financial regulation, and international finance. Today, I believe that PIFS stands as a premier platform for rigorous analysis and in-depth discussion on issues that are central to the global financial system. As the financial crisis has brought financial regulation and international financial systems into focus around the globe, PIFS serves an even more valuable role in fostering dialogue and debate on these critical issues."
