Aims and Scope of the Winter School
The ability to manage and process massive and heterogeneous data is crucial for financial institutions and regulators in order to successfully manage both individual risk as well as systemic risk. Nonetheless, financial research and training has been slow in addressing the BigData revolution.
The BigDataFinance Winter School aims to fill this gap within by providing participants with state-of-the-art knowledge and practical tools on financial networks and applications for both risk management and policy.
The school covers the recent developments in the growing field of the Financial Networks, from the perspective of BigDataFinance, Systemic Risk and Sustainability. The school will provide introductory lectures to financial network analysis as well as more advanced lectures on network models of financial contagion and systemic risk. Several tutorials will focus on software tools for network analysis and visualization. Other tutorials will focus extracting information from financial network datasets. Participants will be able to attend a two-day, international conference on Financial Networks organized by the FINEXUS Center, including a high level panel discussion event.
The BigDataFinance Winter School is part of the EU Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research Fellowship Programme BigDataFinance. However, we are also happy to consider submissions from external participants.
Tuition Fees are 200 CHF for external participants (no fees for MC PhD Fellows). Accommodation and travel costs are not covered by the organizers. Successful applicants will receive a confirmation and further instructions via email.
