The SIAM Activity Group on Financial Mathematics and Engineering Conference Paper Prize (SIAG/FME Conference Paper Prize) is awarded every two years to recognize outstanding research presented by students and postdocs at the SIAM Conference on Financial Mathematics and Engineering. Up to six finalists will be selected to present their work and up to two awards will be made at the conference. Each award has equal merit.

The candidate must be a student or postdoc who received their PhD or equivalent degree no more than two calendar years earlier than the award year. Candidates will have submitted the title and abstract for their presentation either in a minisymposium or as a contributed talk by the conference submission deadline. In the case of co-authored work, candidates must be listed as the speaker. For all talks, prize eligibility is conditional on acceptance of the presentation to the conference program.

For the 2021 award, the candidate must have been accepted to present at the 2021 SIAM Conference on Financial Mathematics and Engineering and awarded their PhD no earlier than 2019.
