This event will contribute to the reaching our Action's objectives of transparency in financial services, transfer of knowledge from academia to industry and bridge the gap between practitioners from the finance industry, academics and regulators by setting up a common knowledge exchange platform. It will also contribute to the objective of creating an excellent network of researchers in Europe with lasting collaboration beyond the lifetime of the Action. We will have at least 5 countries from our members that will be involved in the organization and participation to the event. They will also join the scientific committee.
Support, taking COST FinAI contributions into account, will be prioritised:
- Young researchers from ITC
- ITC
- Young researchers non-ITC
Funds will only be paid, even if an invite for reimbursement is issued, if all COST rules for the entire activity are adhered to. Overall priority of funding is given to active contributors to the COST Action as evidenced by output with COST acknowledgements and DOIs as well as COST country reports and contributions to the edited volume. Reimbursement is also conditional on attending 80% of the time on each day.
