General Information
The 'Scientific Association for Modern Risk Management' and the Oesterreichische Nationalbank (the Austrian central bank) are hosting the Austrian Workshop on Credit Risk Management, January 31 - February 2, 2001. It will be a unique workshop, offering an open interface between practitioners' problems in credit risk management and solutions developed by leading researchers and bringing together both academic and industrial researchers with banking practitioners from the (mainly Austrian) credit industry and with leading banking regulators/supervisors.
The new regulatory capital framework currently under development in Basle and Brussels will soon require the Austrian credit industry to use enhanced methods and models of credit risk management. The Oesterreichische Nationalbank is directly involved in Austria's banking supervision system, and has therefore agreed to co-host this workshop.
The workshop consists of three parts, which can also be booked separately: An introductory crash course on the workshop's topic (in German) for practitioners who are not yet experts in the field of credit risk management methods (January 31), a 'practitioners' day' (February 1; with an invited dinner sponsored by the Oesterreichische Nationalbank), and a third day of 'cutting edge research' (February 2).
We will do our best to provide an attractive forum for both researchers and practitioners, thus creating a 'win-win-situation' for both sides.
