The research programme

The Risk Management Programme is an integral part of The Geneva Association's dialogue with economic and academic actors in order to emphasise the role of insurance in a modern service economy. 

The focus of the Risk Management Programme is to:
provide a platform between the insurance community, the engineering and academic communities and policy  makers to discuss issues on balancing risks and opportunities; 
be a facilitator for the Chief Risk Officers (CROs) of The Geneva Association, and CROs in general;
foster the use of the tools of risk assessment and risk management in new fields of application, such as policy making;
promote the concept of the insurability of risks as the 'natural' borderline between State legislation and the  market economy;
identify new opportunities for insurers in the emerging sustainability concept in order to enlarge the field of insurable and insured risks;
research and illustrate the new risks in the emerging service economy, based on an extended performance responsibility of economic actors.

The main tools to achieve these objectives are:
the Risk Management Newsletter, published biannually; 
the M.O.R.E. Seminars, open to an expert public — the papers of the seminars are published in the Working Paper series "Etudes et Dossiers"; 
the ART of CROs meetings (Annual Round Table of Chief Risk Officers), open to CROs of The Geneva Association’s members; 
the Annual CRO Assemblies open to CROs from all insurance companies and related sectors, by invitation.
