Purpose and history
The EURO Working Group on Financial Modelling was founded in September 1986 in Lisbon. The primary field of interest for the working group can be described as "financial models that help to solve problems faced by financial managers in the firm". From this the following objectives of the working group are distinguished:
- providing an international forum for exchange of information and experience on financial modelling;
- encouraging research in financial modelling (new techniques, methodologies, empirical studies, software, etc.);
- stimulating and strengthening the interaction between financial economic theory and the practice of financial decision making;
- co-operating and exchanging information with other universities and financial institutions throughout Europe.
The meetings of the Working Group are organised twice a year, in April/May and in October/November. Previous meetings were held in Belgium, Curaçao, Cyprus, Finland, France, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Greece, Croatia, Poland and Spain. The meetings are attended by 80-100 members on average, most of them scientists but also representatives from the financial institutions, and are usually organised on Thursday, Friday and Saturday morning. The organisers are expected to schedule three types of sessions: a round table session with invited speaker(s), regular sessions with the presentation of refereed papers, and balloon sessions in which unrefereed papers, new topics and "loose" ideas can be discussed.
