Conference in honor of Prof. Elyès Jouini

A prominent figure in the French and international scientific community, Elyès Jouini represents a way of thinking at the intersection of disciplines, where mathematics, economics, and finance meet. A former student of the École Normale Supérieure (rue d’Ulm), top-ranked in the national mathematics agrégation, and holder of a PhD and an HDR from the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, he first taught mathematics before becoming a leading expert in economics and finance.

He is currently Director at the Institut Universitaire de France and professor at Paris Dauphine-PSL University, after having held positions at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, ENSAE, and New York University. He has influenced generations of students and researchers, both through the rigor of his thinking and his involvement in major initiatives: from the Chair “Individuals Facing Risk” to the UNESCO Chair “Women and Science”, as well as the co-founding of academic journals and societies, such as the Bachelier Finance Society and the journal Mathematics and Financial Economics.

A member of the Institut Universitaire de France, of the Tunisian Academy of Sciences, Letters and Arts Beït al-Hikma, and a Fellow of the Econometric Society, SAET, and IZA, Elyès Jouini has also played an important institutional role as former Vice-President of Paris Dauphine-PSL University and President of its Foundation.

This conference will bring together many of his co-authors, colleagues, friends, and students to celebrate not only an outstanding career, but also a vision of science that is open, demanding, and deeply humanistic. It will be an exceptional opportunity to welcome internationally renowned researchers to Dauphine.
