The document announces a new opportunity to learn energy trading and risk management through an interactive game at the International Summer School in Milan and Rome. The 2-day course covers energy trading fundamentals on day 1 and runs a competitive team-based game on day 2 where students manage a trading strategy within a risk-adjusted framework. The game utilizes live energy prices and volatility surfaces to simulate real-world trading environments and conditions. Students will be graded both as a team and individually on their performance.

4. How do we know its good?g
• Its like flying a fighter jet. When properly designed and built any
experienced (pilot)trader can pick up the game and fly it after only
minutes of familiarisation.
• We were constrained in academia by poor IT when compared to the
i l ld O th i t t th t d tcommercial world. Our game runs across the internet on the students
laptop. Every problem you solve is an opportunity and becomes a
critical success factor while slowing the competition.
• We developed software with “live prices and live vols”• We developed software with live prices and live vols .
• The game content is based on real events as they happened – it is not
a simulation but like the techniques used in the commercial world it is
based on actual market action and information and heavilybased on actual market action and information and heavily
dependent on role playing within a real commercial environment.
• The game itself runs for 8 hours – its a dense and intense day, just like
the trading (ETRM) world.
• Students work in teams of four to build a strategy, execute, evaulate
and rebalance within a Risk άdjusted Framework (RάF ™ by riskGRID)
while their corporate world and its needs change with a dynamic
k tmarket
4
We were challenged to build something special

5. How do we know its unique?q
• Its like flying a fighter jet.
• With an experienced design, engineering and delivery team we
stripped down actual commercial software to first principles and built a
student version with as few compromises as possible and many which
were practical.
• We then rigorously trained and taught with it, honing and developing
our ETRM game.
t ll ti ill h i d i l k t l• At all times you will have experienced commercial market people
training you hands on and taking the controls with you for the more
complicated manouvers.
• We hired others to teach with their software as a benchmark. We out-
performed at every level.
