Subject: Workshop on the Interface between Quantitative Finance and
Insurance / Atelier sur l'interface entre la finance quantitative et
l'assurance
Workshop on the Interface between Quantitative Finance and Insurance
A satellite workshop of the Quantitative Finance Programme of the Isaac
Newton Institute
and a 2005 Regional Seminar of the AFIR Section of the International
Actuarial Association
Edinburgh, 4 - 8 April 2005
Workshop Summary
The Workshop starts with Registration (between 9.30 and 10.30am) on Monday 4
April and finishes on Friday 8 April at around 4pm. It is possible to
register for the first two days only.
This workshop aims to discuss leading-edge research on the interface between
insurance, pensions and quantitative finance. The meeting will concentrate
on two closely linked themes. First, all insurance companies and pension
plans are subject to a degree of financial and economic risk as well as
their traditional insurance risks. Considerable research in the
international actuarial community is ongoing which attempts to model and
manage these risks. Much of this research is building upon existing
knowledge in financial mathematics. Equally, though, the specific problems
being encountered are throwing back new challenges for financial
mathematicians. This introduces us to the second theme: the issue of
securitisation of insurance risks. This presents many new challenges that
require a combination of actuarial mathematics, financial mathematics,
mathematical economics and good contract design.
The workshop will bring together leading international experts from both
academia and practice to promote exchange of ideas and help make progress on
research into current issues.
Applications and payment must be received by Monday 21 March. Places will be
confirmed on receipt of payment. You may apply online at the following
address:

Atelier sur l'interface entre la finance quantitative et l'assurance
Un atelier satellite du Programme sur la finance quantitative du Isaac
Newton Institute et un séminaire régional 2005 de la Section AFIR de
l'Association Actuarielle Internationale
Édinburgh, du 4 au 8 avril 2005
Sommaire de l'atelier
L'atelier débute avec les inscriptions (entre 9 h 30 et 10 h 30), lundi 4
avril et se termine le vendredi 8 avril vers 16 h. Il est possible de
s'inscrire pour les deux premiers jours seulement.
Le but de l'atelier est de favoriser les discussions sur les recherches de
pointe concernant l'interface entre l'assurance, les régimes de retraite et
la finance quantitative. La réunion portera principalement sur deux thèmes
en étroit rapport. Premièrement, toutes les compagnies d'assurance et les
régimes de retraite sont sujets à un certain niveau de risque financier et
économique, de même qu'aux risques d'assurance traditionnels. De nombreuses
recherches au sein de la communauté actuarielle internationale sont en cours
afin de tenter de modéliser et de gérer ces risques. Ces efforts sont
principalement fondés sur les connaissances actuelles dans le domaine des
mathématiques financières. Cependant, les problèmes particuliers rencontrés
posent de nouveaux défis aux mathématiciens du secteur financier. Ceci nous
amène au deuxième thème, soit la question de la titrisation des risques
d'assurance. Ceci pose de nombreux défis nouveaux qui requièrent une
combinaison de mathématiques actuarielles, de mathématiques financières,
d'économie mathématique et de bonne conception de contrats.
L'atelier permettra à des chefs de file internationaux du secteur académique
et des domaines mettant ces connaissances en pratique de se rencontrer et
d'échanger sur ces questions dans le but de faire progresser la recherche
dans ces domaines.
Les inscriptions et le paiement doivent être reçus au plus tard lundi le 21
mars . Les places seront confirmées sur réception du paiement. Vous pouvez
vous inscrire en ligne à l'adresse suivante :

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
May 9-11, 2005, Workshop "Risk Measures & Risk Management: General Aspects", EURANDOM, Eindhoven, NL
The workshop focuses on the theoretically interesting and practically
important topic of risk measures and risk management. The workshop will
bring together leading researchers from academia and from practice.
Topics that will be included are: axiomatic aspects, performance of risk
measures, computational and statistical aspects. Furthermore applications
of risk measures in (re-)insurance, finance and portfolio optimization
are treated. Special emphasis lies on interest rate models and on credit risk.

Subject: Developments in Quantitative Finance, 4-8 July 2005
Dear collegues,
Please find below the announcement for the INI conference
"Developments in Quantitative Finance" to be held in Cambridge this July.
We have generous funding from the EC and Nomura for this event, so will
be able to fund local expenses of students, young participants and
Europeans working outside the EU.
The official website for the conference can be found :
http://www.newton.cam.ac.uk/programmes/DQF/dqfw02.html
where there is an application form. The deadline is 28th February.
There are also more details about funding categories and accomodation
options on a second website :

Please accept our apologies if you receive multiple announcements - we
want to advertise widely.
Best wishes,

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.
