Origins and Objectives
Established in 2017 as an initiative of the Master of Science in Finance & Banking at Tor Vergata University of Rome, the workshop QFin@Work has evolved into a key event dedicated to bridging the gap between academic education and the finance job market. The event was initially designed as a platform to connect students with industry professionals. Now it is part of a comprehensive career orientation program organized by the Centre for Economic and International Studies (CEIS), aimed at facilitating students' transition from academia to the job market.
The goal of QFin@Work is to enhance participants' practical understanding of quantitative methods in finance, insurance, and banking. Each year, the workshop brings together leading practitioners and distinguished international academics to deliver insightful presentations that link theoretical work with real-world applications.
Participants benefit not only from these expert contributions but also from fruitful discussions that provide deep insights into diverse experiences in the finance industry. This interaction broadens students' understanding of financial tools and strategies, equipping them with the skills needed to navigate the challenges of the modern financial environment, and provides opportunities for their future careers.
