The Finance of Energy Markets Laboratory (FiME) is a joint research project between the University of Paris Dauphine, the Centre for Research in Economics and Statistics (CREST), the Ecole Polytechnique and the EDF Group R&D. Created in October 2006 at the same time as the "Finance and Sustainable Development - Quantitative Approaches" Chair, its purpose is to host researchers from all academic institutions wishing to work with EDF R&D engineers-researchers on mathematical economics and long-term quantitative finance issues in the energy sector.
In 2022, the FiME Laboratory and the Finance and Sustainable Development Chair have been renewed for a new five-year period.
The Laboratory currently has 45 members of staff: 11 academic researchers, 11 EDF R&D research engineers and 23 PhD and post-doctoral students.
