Modelling the Unprecedented

Modelling the Unprecedented

Overview

Discover how cutting-edge research in climate modelling, extreme value theory, and uncertainty quantification can enhance catastrophe models

🌍 Facing the Future:

The world is witnessing a dramatic surge in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, challenging risk assessment and capital management across the insurance industry. How can the development and use of established catastrophe models benefit from current research advances in areas of extreme value theory, uncertainty quantification and climate modelling?

🔍 Explore Key Areas:

  • Bridging the Model Gap: Uncover advancements in climate science, statistics, AI, and data analytics to refine models.
  • The Challenge of Insurability: Engage in lively discussions on current model limitations.
  • Fostering Resilience: Network and share knowledge to improve risk transfer, capital efficiency, and societal resilience

You will hear from industry professionals and academics from a wide range of disciplines on their current successes and challenges in this topic and will have the opportunity to ask questions and become part of the discussion.

The session will be followed by an informal reception with the opportunity to network and encourage collaboration.

Full agenda including speakers and format will be shared as soon as confirmed.

We look forward to welcoming you to this insightful gathering!
