Data & Notes

Community map

Map source: LinkedIn audience locations. Color intensity indicates relative audience presence; community figures describe the broader FinQ network.

The snapshot contains 27 recorded countries / regions, each counted once. Unresolved locations are excluded. The source does not record a snapshot date.

Community figures

1,000+ people and 70%+ PhD-level / research-trained are FinQ-provided overview figures recorded on September 10, 2026. They describe the broader community, rather than a live count of verified members or the sum of the audience map.

The source does not specify the measurement period or the denominator for the research-trained figure.

Activity

Past activity follows verified FinQ-hosted or co-hosted in-person records through September 1, 2026. Red X markers identify announced upcoming destinations.

The historical map contains 21 gathering records; different gatherings may share a city. Upcoming destinations are separate from the historical path. The 100+ events, talks & sessions and 21+ in-person gatherings are FinQ-provided overview figures recorded on September 10, 2026. The broader program total is not calculated from mapped points alone.

Jobs by city

Source: reviewed public Jobs listings. Heat shows the number of active roles with a confirmed city in the directory. Remote, ambiguous and unmatched locations are not plotted.

Counts use active, reviewed, publicly visible Job Board listings. Duplicate roles are removed before aggregation; each mapped role contributes to one uniquely matched city. Multiple-location listings are not assigned to a guessed city.

Counts reload when Opportunity opens. Partial-source, unavailable and unmapped-location states remain visible beside the map. City coordinates come from GeoNames, under CC BY 4.0; the directory was retrieved on September 8, 2026 and is not exhaustive.

Across institutions

Affiliations are community-supplied candidates shown for identification only. Their inclusion does not imply endorsement, sponsorship, partnership or a formal institutional relationship with FinQ.

“People from” includes the broader FinQ community and audience; the logos are not a roster of verified members or evidence of institutional collaboration.

Work & evidence

Official FinQ: An official FinQ program, project, collaboration, or institutional activity.

FinQ-affiliated: Work connected to FinQ-affiliated people or activity; this label does not make it an official FinQ output.

Featured stories are an editorial selection. Individual Blog posts retain their dates, sources and relationship context; inclusion does not assign a verified status. Reviewed records remain in the Institutional Archive. FinQ-affiliated work does not imply sponsorship, endorsement or a continuing institutional relationship.
