Aims and scope

The Colloquium is an honours course for Doctoral students interested in analytical (both theoretical and applied) methods for the measurement, management and mitigation of risks, organized in four sessions. The span of risks considered ranges from standard economic, financial or insurance risks, to emerging ones, such as environmental, climate and cyber risks. The approach is in-depth and multidisciplinary, with lectures, assignments and discussion of the results. The course is organized into four sessions.

Target

We seek PhD students from Italian or Foreign Universities, who remain affiliated with their Doctoral School. Students may apply for one session at a time, but must attend the whole session. They may get credit for the courses taken within the Colloquium. There are no participation fees; the Colloquium covers accommodation and may reimburse travel expenses.

Up to five additional participants, including further Doctoral Students, Postdocs, Junior Faculty, or PhDs working in the industry, may be admitted at their own expense.
