The Econophysics Colloquium is an annual meeting on this new and cross-fertilizing area of research that involves the use and the development of knowledge and techniques applied to finance and economics, often using ideas originating from physics. The Colloquium brings together physicists, economists, market practitioners, and researchers from many other fields, and aims to provide an opportunity for the exchange of ideas. Topics such as statistical methods, quantitative measures, high frequency trading, market dynamics, simulations and computation of financial and economic systems will be discussed.
