Descr​iption

This intensive program focuses in hot topics in Quantitative Finance. In the last decades, problems emerging in the financial industry have been a starting point for the development of  quantitative techniques. These techniques cover a wide spectrum of mathematical fields, from probability theory to numerical and computational tools. A huge volume of research has done in the academia inspired by these problems. In the contrary direction, the financial industry is using more and more advanced (from the mathematical point of view) tools and concepts, due to the increasing complexity of markets, that can only be addressed with high-level quantitative methods. This program has been designed to create a bridge between the academia and the industry and it is thought to be a forum to gather professionals working in this area. This means, from the academia, the financial industry and specialized software companies. The program will be held online from May 31st to July 23rd, 2021.
The program is composed of:
  • Two advanced courses focused on the mathematical and computational tools in Quantitative Finance.
  • ​A workshop devoted to the current challenges in option pricing and hedging in the financial industry and the latest academic developments.
  • A weekly seminar.
