The purpose of this conference is to bring together young researchers, in particular Ph.D. students and Postdocs, from 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. In particular, the aim is to promote the exchange of ideas between young researchers in this field. Researchers in all areas of financial and actuarial mathematics are welcome to apply. The conference 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 paid, the number of participants has to be limited to 35.

Application is closed now.

This conference is funded by the Radon Institute for Computational and Applied Matematics.

For all participants, lodging will be organized and paid by the Radon Institute.

For participants from Eastern Europe, there is a limited number of travel grants available upon application.
