The primary field of interest for the working group can be described as "financial models that help to solve problems faced by financial managers in the firm". EWGCFM 2015 will contribute to this purpose in modelling and problem solving through advances in theory, methods and practice, by applications of mathematics and statistics, economics and management sciences, engineering and environmental sciences, supported by modern Operational Research.

We are pleased to announce the following Invited Speakers of the
conference:

?             Vedat Akgiray  (Bogazici University, Turkey),
