The Bachelier Finance Society

The Bachelier Finance Society came into being in June 1996 by the initiative of a group of mathematical finance researchers who found the need of an organization where academia and practitioners could meet and exchange ideas. The aim of the Bachelier Finance Society is, through international contacts, the advancement of the discipline of finance under the application of the theory of stochastic processes, statistical and mathematical theory.

Activities will include:

• seeking individuals and institutions who will organize international conferences, including the official BFS conference held every second year;
• assisting participants in attending the meetings;
• supporting relevant publications;
• establishing interrelationships between industry and academia; and,
• offering BFS members favorable subscription rates on a number of worthwhile journals.
