Congratulations to ICMA Centre PhD students Ms Lisa Schopohl and Mr Hanyu Zhang for receiving a Scholarship for the Advanced Risk & portfolio Management Bootcamp, August 11-16 at New York University awarded by the GARP Partnership for Risk Education, in collaboration with SYMMYS.

During their exciting week in New York, Lisa and Hanyu will have the chance to interact with over 300 portfolio managers, risk managers, sell-side professionals, academics, like-minded students and many high level guest speakers.
