Dear colleagues,
we would like to bring your attention to the following event:
Radon Workshop on Financial and Actuarial Mathematics
for Young Researchers
Linz, Austria, May 30-31, 2007
This international workshop aims to bring together young researchers, in
particular Ph.D. students and Postdocs, working in the field of Financial and
Actuarial Mathematics to discuss recent developments in the theory of
mathematical finance and insurance and its application to current issues facing
the industry. The goal is to promote the exchange of ideas between young
scholars in this field. Researchers in all areas of financial and actuarial
mathematics are welcome to apply.
The workshop is held at the Radon Institute of Computational and Applied
Mathematics (RICAM) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Linz, Austria.
Each participant is supposed to give a talk of 30 minutes length (including
discussion). In addition, there will be an opening lecture by
Prof. Ralf Korn (Kaiserslautern, Germany)
and a closing lecture by
Prof. Wim Schoutens (Leuven, Belgium).
Since there is no registration fee and for all participants the hotel
accomodation will be covered, the number of participants has to be limited to
35.
Application for participation including an abstract (length about half a page)
for the talk should be sent to fayr07(a)ricam.oeaw.ac.at
The closing date for the receipt of applications is March 31, 2007.
Notification of acceptance: April 16, 2007.
