The aim of this conference is to bring together European academics, young researchers, students and industrial practitioners to discuss the application of Artificial Intelligence in Industry and Finance within the COST research network.

The 1st COST Conference on this topic was held on September 15, 2016, the 2nd COST Conference was held on September 7, 2017, and the 3rd COST Conference was held on September 6, 2018.

All lectures are open to the public. Registration will be open from March 5, 2019.

We have invited a large number of speakers both from within Switzerland as well as abroad, working on AI in Finance and Industry.

One track will focus on financial mathematics and its applications of machine learning, whereas the other one will tackle the implications for industry. In addition, we have a focus session on Fintech-Driven Automation in the Financial Industry.

In September 2017 and 2018, we have had around 200 participants, both from Academia and Industry. The latest installment of the COST conference also saw a large number of international guests and speakers, travelling to Switzerland from destinations such as the UK, Germany, the United States and Bulgaria.

The largest proportion of participants will come from the industry complemented by a significant number of academic researchers. This mirrors our unique approach of connecting the academic world to their respective fields of application, putting new exciting concepts to work in industrial frameworks, where they can open up new opportunities.
