The Institut Louis Bachelier , in collaboration with the Risk Foundation And theEuroplace Finance Institute, 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 advances, globalization, and financial crises. The rise of quantitative finance, favored by the increase in computing capacities, has allowed for more sophisticated modeling of markets and financial instruments. The 2008 financial crisis prompted extensive work 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 new tools to predict, optimize, and assess risks.

This 18th edition of the Financial Risks International Forum aims to take stock of the advances in financial research over the last few decades and to reflect on its future, in line with the constantly evolving needs of the sector.

The speakers invited for 2025 are:
• Lin William Cong, Professor holder of the chair Rudd Family Professor of Management and Professor of Finance, Cornell University SC Johnson College of Business (Johnson)
• David Hirshleifer, Professor of Finance, Marshall School of Business, University of Southern California
