The growing role of financial markets and institutions in the economy is sometimes referred to as financialization. It means the process by which financial markets determine the behavior of all actors, including financial institutions, enterprises, individual investors and households. Financial markets act on a number of socio-economic categories of society and shape many areas of life, at the same time increasing awareness about corporate social responsibility.

Bearing in mind the importance of financialization the Department of Finance at the University of Information Technology and Management in Rzeszow, together with the Department of Banking and Finance at Warsaw University have made a joint decision to hold an International Scientific Conference "Financialization - impact on the economy and society", which will be held on 04-05 December 2015 in Rzeszow.
