The SIAG/FME Code Quest is a programming challenge dedicated to solving mathematical and finance modeling problems using computational tools. Its primary objective is to inspire and harness the problem-solving capabilities of students around the world.
The competition invites individuals and teams to collaborate and devise innovative solutions that not only tackle real-world challenges but also advance the frontiers of financial engineering. By promoting teamwork, creativity, and practicality, the quest aims to create a vibrant community where diverse perspectives converge to engineer efficient and inventive financial solutions. The 2023 Quest combines two FinTech themes: Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and Automated Asset Management (RoboAdvising).
