Over the past two decades, the Fields Institute has acquired leadership in the area of quantitative finance. Notable activities include an ongoing world-renowned monthly seminar series, a highly successful six month thematic program, and a variety of workshops, conferences, short courses and industrial-academic events.
Created in 2015, the Centre for Financial Industries is the new focal point for these activities, providing visibility for the expertise of its members, facilitating corporate collaboration and enabling rapid mobilization of resources.
The individual membership is drawn from a vibrant community of faculty and postdoctoral fellows from the Institute's Principal Sponsoring Universities, practitioners from the local financial industry, as well as Canadian and international scientists with close ties to the Institute.
The Centre provides unique benefits for Corporate Members, including proposing and organizing scientific activities at the Institute with exclusive access to the results; participation in the Centre's Working Groups, Roundtables, webinars and seminars; recruitment opportunities; and networking opportunities among the corporate membership. Centre corporate partners also receive Corporate Membership in the Institute and its Industrial Advisory Board.
