I am delighted to invite you to join the Royal Institution’s new monthly science and maths club exclusively for finance professionals: the 14-10 club. The club will be formally launched on 6 October 2011 at the Institution’s historic Mayfair home.
The Royal Institution was founded in 1799 to promote the application of science. Fittingly, it is now turning its attention to modern applications of science and maths and is delighted to be welcoming the finance community into the fold, through the 14-10 club. The club takes its name from the outstanding achievement of the Royal Institution, where 10 chemical elements were discovered and 14 Nobel Prizes won.
At the clubs monthly gatherings you will hear from scientists and mathematicians on topics as varied as cosmology, artificial intelligence and multi-dimensional mathematics– as well as from the top names in finance. The Royal Institution has put together a first class programme for the club’s first six months. You will meet cosmologist John Barrow (Cambridge University); theoretical ecologist and past Government Chief Scientific Advisor, Lord Robert May (Oxford University); head quant at Barclays Capital and Risk magazine ‘Quant of the Year 2011’, Vladimir Piterbarg and Nobel Laureate and behavioural economist, Professor Daniel Kahneman (Princeton University).
The club is open to anyone who works in the financial sector and has an interest in science and maths - both as a practitioner or academic. Annual membership costs £350, but a monthly trial membership of £35 is also available for those wishing to try it out. Further information on the programme and application process can be found online at www.rigb.org/14-10club.
The Ri is delighted to be involved in such an original and important club and do hope you will decide to join.
Please don't hesitate to get in touch for more information or to ask any questions you may have.
