ESCP's London campus launched its Energy Commodity Trading Room in March 2013 with both a lecture series for current EMEM students, and a three-day trading game for international MBA students from Asia, Europe and the United States.
Using its own proprietary risk management, derivative pricing software, and industry-recognised research from major banks, oil industry players and organisations such as the International Energy Agency (IEA), it took participants through the oil market scenarios of 2012.
Such lectures in the Trading Room will be expanded in the coming months, with future sessions looking at other major commodity products such as gas and electricity.
