Dear colleagues,

we would like to bring your attention to the following event:

Radon Workshop on Financial and Actuarial Mathematics for Young Researchers

Linz, Austria, May 30-31, 2007

This international workshop aims to bring together young researchers, in particular Ph.D. students and Postdocs, working in 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. The goal is to promote the exchange of ideas between young scholars in this field. Researchers in all areas of financial and actuarial mathematics are welcome to apply. The workshop 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 covered, the number of participants has to be limited to 35.

Application for participation including an abstract (length about half a page) for the talk should be sent to fayr07@ricam.oeaw.ac.at

The closing date for the receipt of applications is March 31, 2007. Notification of acceptance: April 16, 2007.
