RiskLab
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Name of an international network of University-based laboratories, that conduct research in financial risk management. The first was created in 1994 at Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich in Zurich, Switzerland. In 1996, another one was created independently at the University of Toronto, this time sponsored by the private company Algorithmics Incorporated. Shortly afterwards, and also in partnership with Algorithmics, others were created in Munich (1997), at Cornell University (1998), at Cambridge University (1998), at the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid (2000), and at the Cyprus International Institute of Management, in Nicosia (2001). Their ethos was a fusion of academic research, industrial innovation and governmental oversight in financial risk management.
