Research at the Chair of Financial Data Analytics aims to meet the highest academic standards while simultanously producing practically relevant results. Our research results have been published in leading international journals and have received numerous awards in the past.
In addition, we have a large number of collaborations with industry partners, especially in the financial services sector. In the past we have received funding for our research from various institutions such as state ministries, the German Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) and the European Commission (EU).
