I received an invitation to join the 14-10 Club and I will be attending their meetups from October onwards. This club is for finance professionals who have a background in science and mathematics and want to keep their interests alive!
"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)."
