As part of a 6-month thematic program on quantitative risk management, the Centre de recherches mathématiques (Montréal, Canada) will hold a workshop on "Dependence Modeling Tools for Risk Management" October 2-5, 2017. This workshop will provide a unique opportunity to take stock of recent developments, identify new challenges, and foster collaboration with some 20 leading researchers in dependence modeling from academia and industry (see list below). For a detailed program and registration, see http://www.crm.umontreal.ca/2017/Dependence17/index_e.php Students and postdoctoral fellows are encouraged to present a poster at the workshop. One poster session has been scheduled, as well as two sessions of short lightning talks, so that trainees can introduce themselves and their work to the entire audience. Attendance is restricted to 65 participants on a first-come, first-served basis, so please register early. See you in Montréal! The organizers, Anne-Laure Fougéres, Johanna G.
