Emerging Trends in Mortality and Longevity
Emerging Trends in Mortality and Longevity
An international Multidisciplinary Symposium on Research in Mortality/Morbidity/Longevity
Warwick, United Kingdom — 13 to 14 September 2011
I am pleased to inform you that the UK actuarial profession’s Mortality Research Strategy Group and the IAA Mortality Working Group will be sponsoring a multidisciplinary symposium on research in mortality and longevity.
This conference will be held at Warwick UK, from 13 – 14 September 2011 and aims to encourage collaboration between disciplines in, for example, the actuarial, medical, social science and demographic fields.
By hosting the conference adjacent to the Society of Social Medicine’s Annual Scientific Meeting in 2011 we hope to attract further participation from the medical, epidemiology and demography academic communities as well as the UK and Worldwide Actuarial Profession’s core membership.
The symposium will provide a multi-disciplinary forum for the exchange of information on the latest relevant research, but also an opportunity to learn about established knowledge from a range of different disciplines, all with an interest in better understanding and managing this complex yet critical subject.
We would particularly encourage international papers on the three specialist themes for this event:
- Socio-demographics;
- Individualised risk;
- The international dimension
The Call for Papers is available at: http://www.actuaries.org.uk/sites/all/files/documents/pdf/call-papers-2011-final-website.pdf (Please note that the abstract submission deadline is February 15, 2011)
