City Associates Board
The purpose of the Board is to establish a formal mechanism to support and
develop the degree and level of interaction between CCFEA and relevant
practitioners in the City. It will provide a forum for the interchange of ideas
from theory to practice and vice versa. It thus provides for a formal
affiliation of Board members with the University.
It will also act as a valuable networking forum for members to discuss and
exchange ideas on the application of computational solutions to all areas
of finance and economics.
CCFEA City Associates broadly come from the Finance industry, the IT
industry and significantly from policy oriented institutions. Support from CCFEA
City Associates take the form of bursaries for CCFEA students, industry
internships, direct collaboration on research projects and research funding from
industry. CCFEA is open to suggestions for collaborative projects with
practitioners in the field.
