The IMA Conference on the Mathematics of Finance and Insurance brings together academics and practitioners to explore the latest advances in mathematical approaches to finance and insurance. The event fosters dialogue between the closely connected fields of mathematical finance and actuarial science, creating opportunities for the exchange of ideas and the development of innovative solutions. We welcome contributions from researchers and professionals showcasing new work in applied mathematics, probability, and statistics, particularly those addressing the key challenges facing today’s financial and insurance industries. Building on previous conferences in Edinburgh, Manchester, and Liverpool, we are delighted to return to Liverpool. This year’s conference will open the floor to broad spectrum of topics across mathematical finance and actuarial science.

This conference has a tradition spanning over 30 years and is the flagship event between the French and Romanian applied mathematics communities. Registration is free but mandatory. Deadline: May 11, 2026. You can register online at 17colfrro.sciencesconf.org/ Plenary speakers Adina Ciomaga - IMOM, Académie Roumaine, Iași Philippe Ciuciu - Inria Saclay & CEA Saclay Raluca Eftimie - Université Marie & Louis Pasteur Valentin Féray - CNRS, Université de Lorraine Camelia Goga - Université Marie & Louis Pasteur Delia Ionescu-Kruse - IMAR, Bucarest Ionut Munteanu - Université Al.

About the Conference This conference aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration across fields such as education, psychology, behavioural science, and sociology. Whether you are an early-career researcher or an experienced academic, this event offers a platform to share insights, research, and strategies for addressing mathematics anxiety in diverse contexts. Conference Themes We welcome submissions on a wide range of topics, including: • Mathematics anxiety as reported by: o University students (especially non-specialists) o Learners aged 5–18 o Individuals in everyday life o Across cultural and policy contexts • Related forms of anxiety such as: o Test anxiety o Spatial anxiety o Generalised anxiety • Dimensions and typologies of mathematics anxiety: o Affective, cognitive, and physiological components o Gender differences and stereotypes o Neurodiversity and learning difficulties o Resilience and coping strategies • Psychological and sociocultural constructs linked to mathematics anxiety: o Working memory, number sense, and spatial thinking o Home and family influences (e.g. caregiver anxiety, home learning) o Educator perspectives and preparation o Equity, diversity, and inclusion in mathematics education • Interventions and support strategies: o Socio-emotional and content-based approaches o Pedagogical innovations and instructional methods o Technology-enhanced and AI-supported solutions Invited Speakers Professor Dénes Szűcs – University of Cambridge Dr Ros McLellan – University of Cambridge Dr Sweta Adatia – Limitless Brain Lab Veronica Cavicchi – Ministero dell’Istruzione e del Merito
