The University of Paris Dauphine-PSL is organizing an exceptional conference to pay tribute to the 40-year career of Professor Elyès Jouini, devoted to research, teaching and the sharing of knowledge. A major figure in the French and international scientific community, Elyès Jouini embodies a thought at the intersection of disciplines, where mathematics, economics and finance meet.

A former student of the École Normale Supérieure (rue d'Ulm), received first in the mathematics diploma, doctor and holder of an HDR from the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, he began his career as a teacher in mathematics before becoming a reference in economics and finance.

He is currently Director at the Institut Universitaire de France and Professor at the University of Paris Dauphine-PSL, after having held positions at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, at ENSAE and at New York University. He has marked generations of students and researchers, both by the rigor of his thought and by his commitment to numerous major initiatives: from the “Risk and Decision” chair to the UNESCO “Women and Science” chair, through the co-founding of journals and learned societies such as the Bachelor Finance Society or the journal Mathematics and Financial Economics.

His scientific work, which is highly intellectual, explores the foundations of individual and collective decision-making, as well as the dynamics of interaction through market mechanisms.

His influence goes well beyond the academic framework: eager to strengthen the links between research and the professional world, he has contributed to the creation of numerous major initiatives such as the Europlace Finance Institute, the Risk Foundation or the Louis Bachelier Institute.

A member of the Institut Universitaire de France, the Tunisian Academy of Sciences, Letters and Arts Beït al-Hikma, a Fellow of the Econometric Society, SAET and IZA, Elyès Jouini also played an important institutional role as former Vice President of Paris Dauphine-PSL University and President of its Foundation.

This conference will bring together numerous co-authors, colleagues, friends, and former students to celebrate not only a remarkable career, but also a vision of open science that is demanding, and deeply humanistic. A unique opportunity to welcome internationally renowned researchers to Dauphine.
