Topic: Introduction to Quantum Computers
Absctact: In this lecture we explore the magic of quantum computers, explain the essence of these amazing machines, present the mind-boggling technology behind them, and update you about the state of the art in this rapid changing field, and finally we dwell on the potential of quantum computers to transform our society. After this session, you will be well armed to learn to start programming in Qiskit (but that is the next lecture). - Speaker: Stefano Pavesio and Diego Lamorea, UBS
Topic: Credit Risk: regulatory framework and modelling techniques
Abstract: Are you ready to explore the fundamental 3-Pillar Basel Regulatory Framework, designed to uphold financial stability? Curious about the main economic modelling techniques that are used in credit risk management? Join the lecture to gain insight into these critical aspects and enhance your understanding of quantitative approaches in the world of finance! - Speaker: Przemysław Klocek, IBM
Topic: Applications of quantum algorithms to financial mathematics problems using the Qiskit Finance
Abstract: Lecture will provide brief introduction to quantum computing, how does it differ from classical approach and advantages we can achieve by leveraging it. Furthermore we will introduce Qiskit library for Python and its branch Qiskit Finance. Finally we will cover short overview of algorithms that can be solved using it, mainly focusing on Quantum Amplitude Estimation. - Speaker: Julien Musial and Łukasz Dudek, Euroclear
Topic: Track and Trace in the finance world: transakcje finansowe dzialajace jak Paczkomaty
Abstract: Track and Trace in the finance world: transakcje finansowe dzialajace jak Paczkomaty
Abstract: Dude! Where’s my (financial) package? A demystifying and highly mathematical look behind the scenes of delivering millions of transaction messages to our clients. Why is it so simple and yet just as complex as ordering a pair of socks from your browser to your Paczkomat. - Speaker: Tomasz Jachymiak, UBS
Topic: XVA Framework
Abstract: Have you ever wondered what powers financial institutions in measuring and managing counterparty credit risk?

Topic: Inflation: Measures, Caveats and Modelling Approaches
Abstract: In this lecture I will present basic concepts related to inflation measurement and modelling. We will investigate what inflation indices really measure and assess how good inflation projections can be in an uncertain world. - Speaker: Jan Surdyka, Aon
Topic: Aktuariat, czyli jak zarządzać ryzykiem
Abstract: W trakcie prelekcji, Jan opowie o pracy w branży aktuarialnej prezentując jej praktyczne aspekty oraz kompetencje wymagane w tym zawodzie. Uczestnicy wystąpienia będą mogli usłyszeć o modelach matematycznych wykorzystywanych w pracy aktuariusza, takich jak Compound Poisson model oraz poznać wyzwania z jakimi mierzą się aktuariusze. - Speaker: Remigiusz Lemke, BM mBank
Topic: Giełdowe dane bez tajemnic: Klucz do sukcesu
Abstract: Prezentacja “Giełdowe dane bez tajemnic: Klucz do sukcesu” stanowi kompleksowy przewodnik po wykorzystaniu danych giełdowych w procesie podejmowania decyzji inwestycyjnych. W czasie prezentacji rozważymy rolę i wpływ danych giełdowych na skuteczność inwestycji. Szczególną uwagę zwrócimy na potencjalne pułapki związane z danymi, takie jak overfitting, survivorship bias, look-ahead bias. Omówimy też techniki pozwalające uniknąć tych i innych pułapek czyhających na inwestorów.

Topic: Introduction to Agent-Based Modeling for ESG Finance
Abstract: Most modelling approaches assume that the future will resemble the past and often introduce top-down relationships between variables. This of course leads to challenges in modelling the new realities that are unraveling in front of us, for example due to climate change or more broadly in the environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) space. One solution to dealing with such emergent phenomena is provided by so called Agent-Based Models. This talk will be an introduction to this modelling approach. - Speaker: Paweł Fronczak, NBP
Topic: Zarządzanie portfelem obligacji okiem praktyka
Abstract: Prezentacja ma na celu przybliżenie praktycznych aspektów związanych z budową i zarządzaniem portfelem obligacji w USD. Podczas spotkania omówione zostanie ryzyko stopy procentowej i miary z nim związane. Ponadto przedstawione zostaną sposoby analizy strategii inwestycyjnych oraz rynku. Na koniec krótkie umówienie ostatnich wydarzeń na rynku amerykańskim i zachowań rynkowych z tym związanych. - Speaker: Igor Veksin, UBS
Topic: Economic capital: modelling the risk of the whole bank
Abstract: Are you interested in learning about the theoretical and regulatory foundations of economic capital modelling? Curious about various approaches to aggregating risk and how they compare? Interested in a hands-on experience with a practical example? If so, join us for and insightful lecture! - Speaker: Jakub Jankowski, HSBC
Topic: Introduction to climate risk
Abstract: In this talk I will introduce basic concepts and mechanisms of Earth’s climate system, which affects business lines through the transition and physical risk. We will see how to estimate and mitigate the resulting effect with some focus on physical risk component and natural hazards modelling. - Speaker: Łukasz Wąsik and Mahdi Ahmadi, PhD, State Street
Topic: Modelling Portfolio’s Credit Risk in Practice
Abstract: How to build a solid economic capital credit risk model? Starting with an overview of the regulatory framework, the presentation will provide a primer of credit risk. Then, we will follow with a short history of the credit risk modeling and discuss most popular models. Next, we will review the industry practices and focus on a closed-form model, examining inputs required and potential problems associated. The underlying theme of the presentation will be the practical aspects and challenges associated with building sound credit risk framework.
