As Principal Investigator for the Social Data Science Lab at Cirano, I organize, co-organize, or support bi-weekly luncheons, seminars and one or more international conferences or workshops every year (i.e. Central Banking and Supervision, Too Big To Fail Conference, International Trade and Finance Annual Conference, Networks in Trade and Finance Annual Conference, Myths and Realities about the BRICS).
