Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognise the sender and were expecting this email. Dear Franco, we have had a JAPreventNCD meeting today with stakeholders. Prof. Jagric has been invited as a keynote speaker, as he has some very interesting data/information on the societal value of health systems, which links his work with our on wellbeing economy. During the lunch we have been discussing different activities he is developing and he has presented an interesting app development, linking health behavior of school aged children and AI. I have mentioned to him the Horizon bid and he has agreed to fill in the template for the interventions, so that I could share it with you to check the interest at your side. I hope that is ok. Unfortunately, I can't enter the Box today and could not download the template. I don't have a lot of information about the app development, the aim was to get more insight when Prof. Jagrič fills in the template. Prof. Jagrič is otherwise working also with Chris Brown in WHO Venice office, for the reference. Below is some more information about the Institute he's heading. If interested to you, Monika and myself are pleased to facilitate the exchange of contacts, please feel free to decide on the further steps. With kind regards, Mojca Institute for Finance and Artificial Intelligence https://www.epf.um.si/o-fakulteti/organiziranost/instituti/institut-za-finan... Founded in 1999 and renamed the Institute for Finance and Artificial Intelligence in 2021, the institute focuses on the development and application of modern approaches to artificial intelligence and mathematically supported methods for more accurate analysis, reliable forecasting, and strategic decision-making in finance and other fields such as medicine, industry, and macroeconomics. We carry out research, consulting, and educational projects using advanced technological tools, supercomputers, and our own algorithms, which enable us to process large amounts of data and solve complex analytical challenges. Our solutions are always tailored to the specific needs of our clients and are based on interdisciplinary knowledge, international cooperation, and experience. Our partners include global institutions such as the World Health Organization (WHO) as well as numerous Slovenian clients. We specialise in risk management consulting, where we use advanced quantitative and AI methods to help companies identify, measure and manage key risks. We regularly publish the Risk Monitor monograph, which provides a comprehensive overview of current risks in non-financial companies and offers analytical insights and recommendations for better uncertainty management. In addition, we also publish the monthly IFAI Global Risk Radar, where we identify key risks and develop practical solutions and guidelines for their effective management. In addition to basic research and publications, we also carry out numerous bilateral and market projects. Among these, our collaboration with Indiana University Kelley School of Business stands out, where we jointly research risk management in non-financial companies. In the market area, we can highlight the project of analyzing current business risks for strategic decision-making and the study of cost models and pricing policies in public utilities. We also place special emphasis on connecting experts and students. To this end, we organize various professional events, among which Crypto Connect @ EPF stands out. As part of this event, we organize professional lectures, round tables, and hackathons where students interested in finance, mathematics, programming, and advanced model development can gain practical experience and participate in solving real-world challenges. On an annual basis, in cooperation with the University of Udine, we offer students the opportunity to participate in a short intensive program (KIP), where they learn about and tackle current topics in the field of finance and data analytics. The institute is also a breeding ground for new top experts. As part of the young researchers program, we regularly train doctoral students in the research areas covered by the institute. We participated in the creation of the new master's program in Data Science and Business and in the establishment of the Financial Laboratory, which has obtained international accreditation from IIPER RISK LAB. Our members participate in numerous domestic and international bodies. Research areas: corporate finance, banking, insurance, public finance, financial markets, health economics, quantitative methods in finance (optimization algorithms, advanced econometric and statistical analyses), risk management (VaR models and advanced risk measurement methods, stress testing, Monte Carlo simulations, sensitivity analysis, and scenario analysis), behavioral finance and experimental economics, data science, artificial intelligence, machine learning, neural networks (deep learning, transformers, and large language models), supercomputing.
