ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The VESTING Conference is an annual event for second year & older students of the studies Econometrics, Operations Research and Actuarial Studies (EOR(AS)) at the University of Groningen. Every year, around 80 students are inspired by the participating companies and speakers.
On this one-day event, several speakers will come to tell about their experiences, applications or views on this year's theme. Along with this there are two case rounds in which several interesting companies will show students some applications in the field of econometrics, operations research or actuarial studies. Of course there will be plenty of time to socialize and connect with the participating students and speakers/companies. At the end of the day, students have the opportunity to participate in the closing dinner.
THIS YEAR'S THEME
This year’s theme of the VESTING Conference is ”From Shocks To Strategies: Understanding Risk in a World of Uncertainty”. In a world defined by disruption and uncertainty, understanding risk has never been more critical. At the VESTING Conference, we explore how shocks (economic, technological, and societal) shape the landscape we operate in, and how strategic thinking can turn uncertainty into opportunity. By combining data-driven insights with forward-looking decision-making, we uncover how organizations can navigate volatility and build resilience. From reacting to shocks to designing robust strategies, are you ready to rethink risk? Watch the premovie here.
