leur recherche au CREST ou dans un organisme extérieur (université,
centre de recherche ou d'études, français ou étranger).
- soit des étudiants d'universités ou d'écoles françaises ou
étrangères, qui souhaitent mener leur recherche dans le cadre d'un
laboratoire du CREST.
Aucune condition de nationalité n'est exigée des candidats.

practitioners, to discuss the latest developments in the theory of
mathematical finance, the application of this theory to current issues
facing the industry and to identify the substantive problems
confronting academic researchers and finance professionals. Many
individual themes within quantitative finance are covered elsewhere in
the programme, and this conference will aim to promote the
developments in those areas to a wider audience, whilst simultaneously
providing a forum for the discussion of advances in other areas within
the field.
