SUMMARY:FAECTOR Green Days | Sustainable Econometrics Talks
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in how econometrics can be used in the field
  of sustainability? Join the speakers session where three speakers will ex
 plain how they use econometrics in their work to do their part in the gree
 n transition!  The event will be hosted by prof.dr. Elbert Dijkgraaf. H
 e is academic director of the master Economics of Sustainability. Furtherm
 ore\, he is chairman of the supervisory board of Wageningen University and
  member of several other supervisory board and advising committees. He is 
 driven by the desire to assist in navigating the transitions necessary for
  achieving a sustainable future. The speakers are: dr. Oswaldo Morales-Ná
 poles: He is Associate Professor of probabilistic design and head of the s
 ection Hydraulic Structures and Flood Risk at the department of Hydraulic 
 Engineering of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences of Delft U
 niversity of Technology (TUD). He was affiliated to the Netherlands Organi
 zation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO) from 2009 to 2015 where he le
 d a research group on graphical models for risk and reliability. His resea
 rch includes the use of Bayesian Networks and vine-copulas for characteris
 ation of environmental loads\, such as extreme wave heights\, extreme rive
 r discharges and. extreme precipitation under climate change. These estima
 tions are used for enhancing the sustainable design of safe and reliable i
 nfrastructure under climate change. Machiel Zwanenburg: He is Portfolio M
 anager Quantitative Equities at Robeco. One of his areas of expertise is s
 ustainability integration within quantitative equities. While sustainabili
 ty integration is by no means limited to any particular investment approac
 h\, quant strategies have shown to be especially suitable for this. Their 
 rules-based nature makes it relatively easy to integrate additional quanti
 fiable variables in the security selection and portfolio construction proc
 esses. This enables clients to achieve both their financial and sustaina
 bility goals. He holds a Master's in Econometrics from Erasmus University
  Rotterdam. In his talk he’ll focus on how sustainability objectives ca
 n be incorporated in quantitative strategies\, distinguishing between fina
 ncial materiality and impact materiality. dr. Marina Friedrich: She is an
  Assistant Professor at the Department of Econometrics and Data Science a
 t Vrije Universiteit (VU) Amsterdam. Before\, she was a postdoctoral res
 earcher at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research. In her rese
 arch\, she applies econometric methods to climate data\, for example\, to
  help understand trending patterns in atmospheric gases such as ethane\, C
 FC-11 and fluorine. She also works on the extension of existing econometri
 c tools to better handle certain characteristics of climate data as well a
 s making tools more accessible to climate scientists. After the talks\, th
 ere will be room for questions. Afterwards\, there will be free drinks and
  snacks in the Theil hall until 18:00.   YOUR PARTICIPATION MAKES IMPACT!
  When you sign up for an event\, we will donate €5 to a sustainable cha
 rity of your choice from the list. The charities are: 1. The Ocean Cleanu
 p: We develop and scale technologies to rid the oceans of plastic. Our cl
 eaning technologies are deployed around the world as we conduct the larges
 t cleanup in history.  2. Carbon Gap: Carbon Gap is an organisation focu
 sing on scaling up just and effective carbon dioxide removals in the EU. R
 emoving excess carbon from the atmosphere\, along with rapidly reducing em
 issions\, are essential to ensure a safer climate. 3. Good Food Institute
 : The Good Food Institute is an international network of organisations wo
 rking to accelerate alternative protein innovation. GFI is building a wor
 ld where alternative proteins are no longer alternative. 4. Project Inner
 Space: Engineering geothermal’s global\, exponential growth by 2030. We
  aim to unlock global exponential growth of geothermal by facilitating the
  rapid transfer of resources\, technologies\, and know-how from the oil an
 d gas industry toward geothermal energy production.
