      of 30-60 minutes each. In addition to the key note address
      by Robert C. Merton, there will be presentations by Vicky
      Henderson (Warwick Business School), Thomas Lux (University
      of Kiel), Bernt Oksendal (University of Oslo), and maybe a
      few other invited speakers. The remaining presentations
      will be selected by the organizers on the basis of the
      papers submitted. The symposium takes place in the city of
      Odense, which with approximately 186,000 inhabitants is the
      third-largest city in Denmark. Odense is beautifully
      located on the island of Funen in the heart of Denmark.


      SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:

      We invite both academics and practitioners who are
      interested in presenting their research to submit a paper.
      Preference will be given to theoretical papers that suggest
      and explore new dynamic models of financial and economic
      issues or enhance the understanding of existing models.
