3rd Workshop on Assessment of Risk (3rd WAR)

3rd Workshop on Assessment of Risk (3rd WAR)
November 30 – December 2, 2016

Sala da Congregação da FEA-USP, Av. Prof. Luciano Gualberto, 908

OBJECTIVES:
The 3rd WAR aims at providing a forum for the presentation of state-of -the-art research in the development, implementation, and real-world applications of risk assessment modeling of Industrial Processes, Finance and Actuarial Sciences. The 3rd WAR is open to both academic and non-academic communities from universities, insurance companies, banks, consulting firms and governmental agencies, and is specifically designed to contribute to fostering the cooperation between practitioners and theoreticians in the field. We are planning three short courses intended to attract graduate students as well as practitioners interested in the particular field.

Moreover, the workshop focus is to promote the meeting of researchers and students of the Risk Assessment Group at the CEPID-CeMEAI, disseminate relevant applications in risk modeling area, motivate students of the Bachelors in Statistics and of the Inter-Institutional Program of Graduate Studies in Statistics USP/UFSCar, Program of Graduate Studies in Statistics IME-USP and Programs of Undergraduate and Graduate Studies EAC-FEA-USP, showing the importance of research in the risk assessment risk area.
