Each year, SCOR rewards the best academic work in the field of actuarial science with prizes in several countries throughout the world. These prizes, several of which are financed by the SCOR Foundation for Science, are designed to promote actuarial science, to develop and encourage research in this field, and to contribute to the improvement of risk knowledge and management. They are recognized in the insurance and reinsurance industries as a mark of excellence.
 

From October to December 2016, the SCOR Actuarial Awards were held in six countries: France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden and the UK.

 

The SCOR Actuarial Awards juries are composed of internationally recognised researchers and insurance, reinsurance and finance professionals. The winners are selected for their command of actuarial concepts, the quality of their analytical methods, and the originality of their research in terms of scientific advances and potential practical applications to the world of risk management.

 

Denis Kessler, Chairman and CEO of SCOR, comments: “The SCOR Actuarial Awards in 2016 reward young actuaries from across the world for their innovative work in risk analysis and management. This year marks the 20th anniversary of SCOR’s sponsorship of these awards, and consequently of its support for the development of actuarial science and the promotion of new talent on the global insurance and reinsurance market. The awards bear witness to SCOR’s commitment to research, and are fully in line with the work of the SCOR Corporate Foundation for Science.”
