Since June 16, 2023, the CdS Finance and Insurance has signed an agreement with the ARPM platform, with the primary goal of enriching the quantitative preparation and improving the computational aspects of students enrolled in all the curricula the MSc course is divided into. In particular, the agreement, signed through the Memotef Department in which the degree program is hinged, provides for the possibility of taking as an optional course an Advanced Risk and Portfolio Management Quant Bootcamp, delivered through Advanced Risk and Portfolio Management Lab (ARPM Lab).

The Quant Bootcamp is an intensive course that provides a comprehensive overview of the most advanced Data Science techniques and their applications in Quantitative Finance. In addition to basic theory/application classes, the Quant Bootcamp also includes access to an online study/practice lab, lectures by world-renowned speakers, and networking with industry leaders and hundreds of other participants from the industry and other universities.

The Quant Bootcamp offers students enrolled in the Finass MSc to participate at heavily discounted prices (50 percent off the regular attendance price) of the Bootcamp. Each year the course takes place in New York City (at New York University) in the second half of July. In addition to in-person activities, the agreement allows for participation by streaming and/or in the self-paced mode.

Students interested in attending the Quant Bootcamp are invited to contact the project's scientific coordinator,Prof. Claudia Ceci
