Informed consent in clinical research is an ethical and regulatory requirement. A research subject must enter a study voluntarily, be informed about risks and benefits, and understand the difference between investigation and treatment. Subjects must not be coerced into enrolment, nor must they be enticed by exaggerated claims of benefit. Before they can enrol, all potential subjects must agree, in writing, to participate. In addition to ethical and regulatory imperatives, the potential for litigation by subjects further highlights the importance of rigorous adherence to informed consent principles. In this short course we set out the principles and requirements and provide examples of practical issues confronting healthcare professionals and subjects.

About the course “Quantum Computing for Finance” is an emerging multidisciplinary field of quantum physics, finance, mathematics, and computer science, in which quantum computations are applied to solve complex problems. “Quantum Algorithms for Computational Finance” is an advanced course in the emerging field of quantum computing for finance. This technical course will develop an understanding in quantum algorithms for its implementation on quantum computers. Through this course, you will learn the basics of various quantum algorithms including: Grover’s and Rudolf’s algorithm, Quantum amplitude Estimation (QAE) algorithm envisioned as a quadratic speed-up over Classical Monte-Carlo simulations, Combinatorial optimization algorithms namely Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA), and Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE), and Quantum-inspired optimization algorithms – Simulated Coherent Ising Machine (Sim-CIM), and Simulated Bifurcation Algorithm (SBA). This course is meant for all those learners who want to explore the long-term employability of quantum computing in finance, assuming that you are familiar with the concepts of quantitative and computational finance. In addition, the course contains several Python based programming exercises for learners to practice the algorithms explained throughout the course. This course is the second part of the specialised educational series: “Quantum Computing for Finance”. What Skills you will learn Ability to perform quantum arithmetic operations and simulations. An understanding of the Quantum Amplitude Estimation algorithm and its variants. The computational and modelling techniques for option pricing and portfolio optimization on a quantum computer. The skills for a career in quantum finance including Quantum Algorithmic Research, Quantitative Asset Management and Trading, financial engineering, and risk management, using quantum computing technology. Course Prerequisites All potential learners must have prior knowledge or familiarity with basic quantum algorithms/basic quantum programming. Before enrolling this course, we recommend all learners to complete the first course “Introduction to Quantitative and Computational Finance” of the series “Quantum Computing for Finance”, if they have no previous experience with the concepts of quantitative and computational finance. Duration The estimated duration to complete this course is approximately 6 weeks (~4hrs/week). Course assessment To complete the course and earn the certification, you must pass all the quizzes at the end of each lesson by scoring 80% or more on each of them.

With its staff of PhD's and PhD students, QuantFi engages in fundamental and applied research in in the field of quantum finance, collaborating with industrial partners and universities in seeking breakthroughs in such areas as portfolio optimisation, asset pricing, and trend detection.

Master the essentials of Clinical Psychology. This course covers therapeutic models, research methods, and various career paths in psychology.

An evening of mindful stargazing practices, focussing on contemplating our place within the cosmos and our connections to it – scientifically, energetically and spiritually.

The Forensic Analysis Bootcamp is an 8-week deep-dive into forensic equity analysis, featuring a 90-minute Zoom workshop each week. The content includes extensive use of real-life case studies and covers stocks spanning a wide range of sectors and regions. You will learn how companies manipulate expenses and inflate profits, how to spot balance sheet issues, weaknesses of the cash flow statement and issues and more.

Emotional intelligence (EI) is the ability to manage oneself and one’s relationships with others in a mature and constructive manner. Research indicates that EI is closely related to workplace success at all levels of the organisation. In this course we look at six key aspects of EI in order to help develop your skills and abilities in managing yourself and your relationships in the workplace.

Phenomenological explorations for existential seekers. Ten live dialogues between Prof Ernesto Spinelli and International Existential Therapists which clearly illustrate their journey intertwined with the method of the investigation. We are looking to highlight the role of the researcher as an existential seeker. Workshop – Reflections on Existence through a Phenomenological Method. The two-hour practical module where participants, inspired by the previous presentation and dialogue, explore and elaborate on their practice and research with the guest teacher and Bárbara Godoy. This process ends with the opportunity to experience oneself in a clearing. Here we can reflect on how our research is affecting, disturbing and inspiring our own relationship with Being.
