Dear all,
We, Christophe Biscio, Elena Di Bernardino, Céline Duval and Alberto Rodriguez Casal are organizing a meeting at the CIRM on « Set Estimation » from 29 June to 3 July 2020:
https://conferences.cirm-math.fr/2296.html
You will find below a short description of the theme of the conference.
The conference will include long talks and 2 short courses given by Antonio Cuevas (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid) and Georg Lindgren (Lund University). The full list of speakers is available on the website.
It is a pleasure for us to ask you to participate to this event and we hope that you will respond positively. If so, could you register on the website: « pre-registrations-apply-here ».
Note that during registration young researchers are encouraged to submit an abstract for a short talk or a poster session.
If you intend to come, we would greatly appreciate if you could register before March 10th 2020.
We remain available if you have any question.
Best regards,
Christophe Biscio
Elena Di Bernardino

Alberto Rodriguez Casal
Abstract: Set estimation appears in many applied fields, for instance in cosmology, imaging, biology, environmental science, sea waves modeling, big data. Many mathematical issues arise and are studied by both random geometry and spatial statistics communities. The purpose of this meeting is to gather these two communities around this common question.
The considered sets are obviously multidimensional. They can be either random or the observation of a random phenomenon. Among others, we can name the support of multi- dimensional densities, realizations of point processes, Gibbs or Boolean models, excursion sets of random fields, discrete or continuous, level sets or high dimensional data. Regard- ing estimation, it could include inference for the localization of the set, its frontier or its extremal points, its shape, its volume or any other geometrical functional. The study of these objects naturally leads to parametric or non-parametric estimation issues and the need for testing procedures (Gaussianity, isotropy,...).
By set estimation, we mean the study of an inverse statistical problem to build consistent inference procedures and associated algorithms, starting from eventually sparse observations. Talks will be devoted to this question by firstly presenting the set of interest and its properties then the methods developed for its estimation.
The program will include talks directed toward theory and applications.
Warning: We encountered some technical issues with the registration of people who already visited the CIRM and who did not fully completed the registration procedure. When you register be careful to follow the procedure until the end, you will then receive an automatic email confirming that you are registered. If you do not receive this email, please contact us.

19^th INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
CREDIT 2020
*/Environmental, Social and Governance Risks/*
Venice, Italy
24 –25 September 2020
*GRETA Associati *(Venice, Italy), *Cattolica Assicurazioni* (Verona,
Italy), *CRIF*(Bologna, Italy), *European Investment Fund* (Luxembourg),
*European Investment Bank* (Luxembourg) and *Intesa Sanpaolo *(Milan,
Italy) are co-sponsors of a Conference to be held in Venice on September
24-25, 2020. The objective of the Conference is to bring together
academics, practitioners and PhD students working in the area of risk
management. The conference will provide an opportunity for participants
engaged in research at the forefront of this area to discuss both the
causes and implications of recent financial and climate-related events
and may, in turn, suggest fruitful and policy-relevant directions for
future research. The Conference, organised under the auspices of the
*Department of Economics of the University Ca’ Foscari of Venice*, *ABI
- Italian Banking Association, AIAF - Associazione Italiana per
l'Analisi Finanziaria *and the *Joint Research Center, European
Commission *(Ispra, Italy), is the *nineteenth* of a series dedicated to
various aspects of credit risk.
//The UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the adoption of
European Commission’s Action Plan on Sustainable Finance mark important
international commitments to the objective of a more sustainable economy
and society. However, their successful implementation is tightly related
to the scaling up of low-carbon investments and divestment from
carbon-intensive investments. This, in turn, requires an assessment of
the credit risks stemming from investors’ exposure to economic
activities and assets that could be stranded by climate change. For
instance, regulators’ discussion about the revision of capital
requirements aimed to foster green investments (i.e. a green-supporting
or a brown-penalising factor) is hampered by the unclear understanding
of the implications of a regulatory change on individual institutions
and systemic financial risk. Thus, financing the low-carbon transition
is primarily a discussion about credit risk.//
//The financial sector, and in particular the banking and insurance
industries need to develop new portfolios’ risk management strategies
and to adjust their credit allocation practices to cope with the
opportunities and challenges of the low-carbon transition in the economy
and finance. All t////hese changes call for a substantial amount of
research to improve the knowledge of the mechanisms at play and to
design tailored and effective policy tools.////
The organizers encourage submissions of papers on any topic within the
overall theme of the conference and in the following areas in particular:
·INVESTMENTS: Green Finance, Investments Principles, Real Estate
Sustainability, Finance for Good;
·POLICIES: Climate Policies, Climate Financial Risk; European Green New
Deal, Social Sustainability;
·INFORMATION: Non Financial Disclosure, Climate risk disclosure, ESG
Ratings, ESG Taxonomies.
The Scientific Committee for the Conference consists of:
·*Monica Billio *(Ca’ Foscari University of Venice & GRETA, Programme
Chair)**
·*Marina Brogi *(Sapienza University of Rome)**
·*Francesca Campolongo *(Joint Research Center, European Commission)**
·*Helmut Kraemer-Eis *(European Investment Fund)**
·*Rainer Haselmann***(Goethe University, Frankfurt)**
·*Irene Monasterolo *(Vienna University of Economics and Business)**
·*Steven Ongena *(University of Zurich, Swiss Finance Institute, KU
Leuven & CEPR)**
·*Roberto Rigobon *(MIT Sloan School of Management)**
·*Stephen Schaefer *(London Business School)**
**
*CALL FOR PAPERS*
The final program will include both submitted and invited papers.
Acceptances received so far from invited speakers include *Marina Brogi*
(Sapienza University of Rome) and *Andrew W. Lo *(MIT Sloan School of
Management). The Conference will also feature panel discussions on
researchers', practitioners' and policy makers’ views of the major
issues at stake for embedding climate into credit risk.
Those wishing to present a paper at the Conference should submit by *May
31, 2020 *to the address given below (preferably in electronic format).
