Junior Awards

Bachelier Finance Society Junior Scholar Award (PhD students or less than 2 years since PhD)

At SIG, Quantitative Researchers explore the latest concepts in financial mathematics to solve problems found in the markets. We created the Bachelier Finance Society Junior Scholar Award to recognise scholars who share the passion for cutting-edge research. This award is conferred every two years on the author(s) of the most outstanding paper submitted to the BFS Congress by junior researchers. The award is based on the content of the contribution to the submitted paper by the junior researcher(s).

The purpose of the Bachelier Finance Society Junior Scholar Award is to attract PhD students and young researchers to the BFS World Congresses.
