The Colloquium caters to Doctoral students interested in analytical (both theoretical and applied) methods for measuring, managing and mitigating risks. It is organized over four two-week sessions along one year. The risks considered range from standard economic, financial or insurance applications, to emerging ones, such as environmental, climate and cyber risks. The approach is in-depth and multidisciplinary, with lectures, assignments and discussion of the results. Outstanding international scholars with long-standing PhD teaching and supervision experience deliver the courses.
We seek PhD students from Italian or Foreign Universities, who remain affiliated with their Doctoral School. Students may apply for one session at a time, but must attend the whole session. They may get credit for the courses taken within the Colloquium. There are no participation fees; travel and accommodation are covered by the Colloquium.
