The <b>Fourth Asian Quantitative Finance Conference (AQFC)</b>  will be held at the <b>Osaka University Nakanoshima Center</b> from February 21-23, 2016.
<p>

The AQFC has been an annual international conference since 2013. The previous three conferences in the series took place at:
<ol>
<li>
National University of Singapore, Singapore, January 9-11, 2013
<li>
Shandong University, Weihai, June 19-21, 2014
<li>
Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, July 6-8, 2015
</ol>
<p>

The aim of the conference is to feature the latest developments in the field of quantitative finance and promote its research in Asia. It also hopes to bring together researchers as well as practitioners on quantitative finance in Asia and elsewhere and provide a platform for interaction and cooperation.
<p>

There will be plenary talks as well as contributed talks. All researchers and practitioners including graduate students are encouraged to apply for contributed talks. We have a limited financial support for contributed speakers that covers local expenses. Preferences will be given to graduate students as well as researchers and practitioners in their early career.
