The Initiative de Recherche QUANTVALLEY/FdR "Quantitative Management Initiative (QMI)" was launched on February 1, 2012. It was created by two academic institutions, ENSAE (Ecole Nationale de la Statistique et de l'Administration Economique) and Université Paris Dauphine, with the view of developping a research program that addresses the use of quantitative tools and methods for asset management.
The deadline for paper project submission is June 20, 2013. All projects will be reviewed by the board of the IdR QUANTVALLEY/FdR QMI.
