Thirty-three researchers from ten African countries are participating in the second edition of the training workshop on Stochastic Analysis, Research and their applications to Financial and Actuarial Mathematics at Biriwa, in the Central Region of Ghana.

The four-day workshop is being organised by the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) Ghana, under the auspices of the Alexander von Humboldt and the German Ministry of Education and Research.

It is also supported by DAAD Foundation and being hosted by Olivier Menoukeu Pamen, the German Research Chair at AIMS Ghana, and a Reader in Mathematical Sciences at the University of Liverpool.

A statement signed by Ms Rhoda Mahama, the Administrative Manager of the AIMS Research Centre, and copied to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Cape Coast, said the workshop would focus on initiating collaborative research among researchers at universities in Ghana, Africa and beyond.

'The workshop would include mini courses and presentations by participants on Credit Risk Modelling and Risk Management, Stochastic Optimal Control with applications to finance and an Introduction to Risk Theory,' the statement said.

It said the workshop would provide an excellent platform for graduate students, young and senior researchers to increase and share knowledge in the areas of Financial and Actuarial Mathematics in designing internationally competitive research proposals and the effective communication of research findings.

The statement said the distinguished lecturers and facilitators for the workshop were from prestigious universities in Europe and Africa, including the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-senftenberg, University of Giessen in Germany, University of Liverpool in the United Kingdom, University of Pretoria in South Africa and the University of Ghana.
