The team:
The Institut Louis Bachelier is a partnership research network in economics and finance. It was created in 2008 by the Ministry of Finance to create a research ecosystem bringing together academics, companies, and public authorities. The institute focuses on 4 themes: environmental, financial, digital, and demographic.
The ILB DataLab is a team of R&D engineers specialized in the fields of data science and green and sustainable finance. Its objective is to support companies in the financial sector in their digital and environmental transformations through data-related projects (BNP Paribas, SG and others). The DataLab mainly conducts projects in banking / insurance (risk, targeting, green rating…) as well as some projects in other sectors. These projects are halfway between research and consulting.
The team has developed strongly in the field of green and sustainable finance over the last two years, thanks to the leading expertise of the Institute’s researchers.
The intern will be supervised by João Paulo Sertã and supported by managers (including Louis Boulanger and JM Beacco) with more than 30 years of experience and responsibilities in finance, applied mathematics and artificial intelligence. The team interacts with renowned experts in green and sustainable finance, such as M. Voisin (variable depending on project).
