18th FINANCIAL RISKS INTERNATIONAL FORUM

The Institut Louis Bachelier, in collaboration with the Fondation du Risque and the Institut Europlace de Finance, is pleased to invite you to the 18th edition of the Financial Risks International Forum.

This year’s forum will focus on the theme:
“Shaping Financial Research: Data, AI, and New Challenges”

Over the past 50 years, academic research in finance and insurance has been transformed by technological advancements, globalization, and financial crises. The rise of quantitative finance, driven by increased computing power, has enabled more sophisticated modeling of markets and financial instruments. The 2008 financial crisis spurred extensive research on systemic risk, regulation, and financial stability. More recently, the development of new databases and technologies—such as machine learning, advanced language models, and decentralized finance—has introduced innovative tools for forecasting, optimizing, and assessing risks.

The 18th edition of the Financial Risks International Forum aims to take stock of recent advances in financial research over the past decades and explore its future in light of the sector’s evolving needs.

Invited Speakers for 2025:

• Lin William Cong, Rudd Family Professor of Management and Professor of Finance, Cornell University SC Johnson College of Business
• David Hirshleifer, Professor of Finance, Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California

The full program, including all speakers, will be updated soon.
