The Geneva Association<br />
(The International Association for <strong>the</strong> Study <strong>of</strong> Insurance Economics)<br />
The Geneva Association is <strong>the</strong> leading international insurance think tank for strategically important<br />
insurance and risk management issues.<br />
The Geneva Association identifies fundamental trends and strategic issues where insurance plays<br />
a substantial role or which influence <strong>the</strong> insurance sector. Through <strong>the</strong> development <strong>of</strong> research<br />
programmes, regular publications and <strong>the</strong> organisation <strong>of</strong> international meetings, The Geneva<br />
Association serves as a catalyst for progress in <strong>the</strong> understanding <strong>of</strong> risk and insurance matters and<br />
acts as an information creator and disseminator. It is <strong>the</strong> leading voice <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> largest insurance groups<br />
worldwide in <strong>the</strong> dialogue with international institutions. In parallel, it advances—in economic<br />
and cultural terms—<strong>the</strong> development and application <strong>of</strong> risk management and <strong>the</strong> understanding <strong>of</strong><br />
uncertainty in <strong>the</strong> modern economy.<br />
The Geneva Association membership comprises a statutory maximum <strong>of</strong> 90 Chief Executive Officers<br />
(CEOs) from <strong>the</strong> world’s top insurance and reinsurance companies. It organises international expert<br />
networks and manages discussion platforms for senior insurance executives and specialists as well as<br />
