The Risk International Financial Program (IFP) is organized annually by a board of five students. During this activity, 16 students conduct five weeks of international research for Dutch companies in promising markets outside Europe. At the end of April 2012, the group of students, including two accompanying teachers of the University of Groningen, will travel to Costa Rica & Panama. The recruitment of participants starts in May 2011. The participants will be actively involved in finding financial research projects from September 2011.
