Françoise Forges, Emeritus professor at Université Paris-Dauphine, is internationally recognized for her groundbreaking contributions to game theory, particularly in the fields of strategic information transmission, mechanism design, semi-cooperative games, and repeated games with incomplete information.
She has been a fellow of the Econometric Society since 1997, received the C.N.R.S. silver medal in 2009, and was elected an international member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2020. She served as editor at Games and Economic Behavior from 2015 to 2020. She was also director of the doctoral program in economics, director of the doctoral school, and chair of the institutional review board at Université Paris-Dauphine.
This conference, organized to celebrate her retirement from the French university, brings together leading experts in game theory and economic theory, including some of her former and current co-authors and PhD students.
