FOC is a Scientific Project Financed by FET OPEN Scheme in the field of Information and Communication Technology by the European Commission. The research topic is to understand and possibly forecast systemic risk and global financial instabilities We want to provide a novel integrated and network-oriented approach to the issue. On one hand, we will offer a theoretical framework to measure systemic risk in global financial market and financial networks. On the other hand, we will deliver an ICT collaborative platform for monitoring systemic fragility and the propagation of financial distress across institutions and markets around the world. Experts will be able to evaluate algorithms and models to forecast financial crises as well as visualise interactively possible future scenarios. Please note that any views and opinions expressed in this context are those of the author(s) and do not reflect the views of the ECB or the ESCB

Nature Physics FOCUS on financial networks In this Focus, for the first time, network scientists, economists and regulators team-up to discuss for a wider audience the fundamental challenges posed by complex financial networks to the stability of our economies. The Focus consists of four interconnected papers that: offer some intuition of why financial networks can get so complex and unstable; provide examples of the new network approaches that are currently pursued by regulators; and indicate research avenues that should to be explored in the future. |
FOC PROJECT will organize a satellite event on Financial Networks and Systemic Risk Analysi as Satellite of STATPHYS 25 (Seoul), July 17-19 2012 Kyoto, Japan
