There are still places and generous bursaries - provided by our sponsors and partners for academics and research students- available for these workshops. CARISMA Brunel, Fraunhofer ITWM and OptiRisk Systems have collaboratively developed the following workshops. The aim of the workshops is to bridge the gap between mathematical research and its practical application within the financial community. The speakers are all experts in their fields, some are practitioners and others are leading academics.
