The Summer School on Risk, Finance and Stochastics (RFS) was founded in 2003 in Samos, as an attempt to bring together students, academics and professionals, both young and senior, to present, reflect and discuss in a relaxed environment certain aspects of the fascinating field of stochastic mathematics and its applications to risk, economics, finance and insurance. Over the years, it has been moving to various places around Greece, depending on the underlying circumstances. However, the annual rendez-vous was always punctual and anticipated by all. For several years, RFS was hosted in many beautiful places in Greece, such as Samos, then Chios, Nafplio, and of course Athens. No matter what the place was, we always had the honour of having with us world-class academics and professionals, who masterfully presented and discussed with the participants the elegant and important topics of their current research. In parallel, they were eager to learn young researchers and students in the first steps of their careers, the interplay among which always resulted in a creative and friendly atmosphere that we fondly remember. Naturally, this could not be possible without the constant and generous funding of initial collaborating departments of AUEB and the University of the Aegean.
Since 2019 and due to the pandemic outbreak, RFS had been digitalised, and it had been presented in virtual and hybrid modes. Nevertheless, this annual meeting is continuing and is growing year by year, including more and more excellent colleagues, both academics and professionals, around the world.
This year, RFS is organized in a hybrid mode, which will give both in-presence and virtual participation opportunities.
