Emerging Risks
Announcement from the EAA organiser:
Recent developments and events have put some Emerging Risks in the spotlight, such as geopolitical risk, artificial intelligence, and climate change. However, there is a large number of further topics in the Emerging Risks universe that might warrant equal attention. Their assessment will always have to be specific to the individual company and its activities and requires a good overview and solid understanding of all Emerging Risk as well as their related trends and interconnections.
This web session is suited for all insurance professionals with an interest in risk management and long-term perspectives who want to broaden their horizon and who have an inquisitive mind, irrespective of their current area of work, expertise, or level of seniority.
This web session will allow participants to gain a good overview and solid understanding of Emerging Risk, their related trends, and their interconnections. The main tools to achieve this will be the presentation, discussion, and analysis of industry standard publications on the subject, such as the CRO Forum Emerging Risks Radar. Selected risks and trends will be covered in depth to understand their relevance for actuaries. The event will allow participants to raise questions and to flag areas of special interest.
Technical Requirements: Please check with your IT department if your firewall and computer settings support web session participation (the programme Zoom will be used for this online training).
