An international forum dedicated to emerging risks

Organized every year by the Louis Bachelier Institute, the Financial Risks International Forum brings together researchers, professionals and regulators to explore major developments in risk management.
This 19th edition is particularly interested in risks opaque, nonlinear, emerging, or model-dependent, often invisible to traditional tools but decisive in a financial system undergoing profound change.

Technological advances, global integration, the growth of alternative data, the rise of artificial intelligence and the emergence of decentralized finance have highlighted new forms of fragility. This forum aims to deepen their understanding.

Topics sought

The scientific committee invites empirical, theoretical, methodological or public-policy-oriented contributions on the detection, measurement, modeling, or management of hidden financial risks.

The papers may in particular relate to:

• Model, algorithm, and AI risks : poor specification of models, uncertainty of parameters, concentration of models, fragility of AI/ML approaches, limits of reproducibility of AI models.
• Alternative data risks : bias, personal data leak, adversarial manipulation, and implications for inference and forecasting.
• Market liquidity and microstructure in times of stress : hidden liquidity pockets, contagion effects between platforms, and active-passive mismatches.
• Systemic contagion and the fragility of intermediation : amplification through networks, shadow banking, off-balance sheet exposures and opaque links on OTC markets.
• Climate, transition and geopolitical risks : physical and transition channels, exposures linked to supply chains, sanctions and geo-economic fragmentation.
• Operational, cyber, and infrastructure vulnerabilities : cloud/supplier concentration, governance failures, cyber contagion and risks related to tokenization/DeFi.
• Measurement, detection and policy responses : new indicators, stress tests, early warning devices, network analyses and regulatory/policy design.
