Dear Members of the COST Action CA19130 Fintech and AI in Finance,

Wishing everyone a great holiday season, Merry Christmas and a great start to the New Year!

Looking back at 2023, we have grown to more than 390 researchers across 51 countries globally. This is an amazing achievement, and nevertheless only makes us a small part of the entire community of currently 45 000 active COST researchers and innovators across Europe and globally.

Thanks to everyone for their contributions and hard work and for making our Action a great success. It is not possible to mention each and every one that contributed without forgetting anyone, so thanks to all of us and to everyone for contributing. We again have had a large number of research activities across Europe, as always we are one of the most active of all COST Actions, while our collective network output has received close to 6000 citations in 2023 alone.

Hope everyone can now enjoy the days off, relax, recharge, spend time with their family and loved ones.

Looking forward to meeting everyone at one of our events next year!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and a great start to the New Year! 

Best regards

Joerg, Branka, Lennart, Yiting, Gabin
