Women in Fintech and AI - IV ed. - Greece

4th edition of Women in Fintech and AI

The first was organised online by the diversity team, the second in hybrid form, hosted by Tirana university and the third in Coimbra, Portugal.

This is the fourth edition of the Women in Fintech and AI event of the diversity team. The event will bring together practitioners, academics and policy makers in the attempt to improve awareness on diversity in Fintech and AI. Keynote speakers and research presentations are foreseen.

Special focus will be given to the topic of transparency in Financial services, products and technologies and statistical methods involved in Fintech as a tool to improve the financial inclusion of different actors currently underbanked and promote an organic development of Fintech across Europe.

The event fosters discussions and the production of papers / research that is specifically targeted at reaching the COST action goals, and finalise missing deliverables.

Thanks to the multidisciplinary nature of the speakers and audience, we reach the following Objective: Transfer knowledge in terms of expertise, scientific tools and human resources across the different disciplines.
Thanks to the involvement of the industry and policymakers, the following objective will be also reached: Transfer knowledge in terms of expertise, scientific tools and human resources across the different disciplines and between academia and industry.
Past editions have proved strong participation by members of the action and also by new members for which this has become (like other events) the occasion to meet the FinAI Action and join the network.

Additionally, we plan to distribute a call for papers and to have special sessions dedicated to the deliverables missing. Additionally, we will plan a session for writing reports useful for the Action The event will contribute to the following GP4 goals:
Goal 9: Submitted papers could be in the edited volume.
Goal 7: Write methodological discussion papers on AI models to generate “failed trials” of investment product producers and on quantitative strategies with the usage of the promising field of network data analysis
