Data science is changing financial markets and is now particularly applicable to developing better risk analytics. Please join us to learn more about this at the second annual symposium hosted by Berkeley's Consortium for Data Analytics in Risk.

The symposium features plenary talks by Craig Boutilier, principal scientist at Google; Dan diBartolomeo, CEO of Northfield Information Services; and Mike Jordan, Professor of Statistics and Computer Science at UC Berkeley. Jeff Bohn of State Street Global Exchange will lead a discussion on the impact of emerging ESG (Economic, Social, and Corporate Governance) standards and practices. The agenda can be found here.

CDAR, a Social Science Matrix-affiliated center, encourages innovative thinking in data science research and its applications to investment risk and portfolio management. With support from State Street, as well as the Economics and Statistics Departments at UC Berkeley, CDAR organizes workshops, conferences, and research opportunities to create a culture of learning. These events bring together academic researchers in physical and social sciences and industry researchers from finance firms and technology companies both large and small.

Please register for this event here if you plan to attend.
