the main lecture room at the Institute unless otherwise specified in
the monthly announcements. Historically, the participants include practitioners
from many of the local financial institutions, academics from Business
Schools and theoretical scientists who are moving into this dynamic
area of research. The speakers have been asked to choose topics and
structure their presentations to appeal to a diverse audience of this
type.
