‘Forecasting Financial Markets’ is an International Conference on Quantitative Finance which has been held in May/June every year since 1994. Since its inception, the Conference has grown in scope and stature to become, after fourteen years of continued success, a key international meeting point for those interested in Quantitative Finance, with the participation of quantitative market professionals and of prestigious academic and private research institutions from all over the world including major central banks and quantitative fund managers.

The FFM Scientific Committee is composed of both academics and quantitative market professionals to ensure the methodological soundness of the selected contributions and also retain the practitioner’s perspective at the same time. Over the years, the Committee has ensured that the presentations were original, high quality and practical.
