The amended Solvency II Directive entered into force on 28 January 2025 and will apply from 30 January 2027 following national transposition. This web session will provide an overview of the key amendments introduced by the revised Directive and the main attention points from the Delegated Regulation published on 29 October 2025 by the Commission. […]

For years, correlation has been central to the actuarial profession's practice. Actuaries have mastered the art of identifying patterns in historical data to price risk and predict future losses. However, in the era of "Big Data" and increasingly complex algorithms, there is a critical limitation: traditional statistical models can tell us what is happening, but […]

In 2017, after more than two decades of debates, outreach, and Exposure Drafts, the IASB finally published the new IFRS 17 standard for Insurance Contracts. Following additional years of further debates on several actuarial and accounting-related aspects the new standard has become effective on 1st January 2023 and fundamentally changed the way on how many […]

Deep Learning supports Solvency Requirements for Pension Funds and ensures the Guarantee of Benefit Payments at any time. It is particularly well-suited for time series forecasting related to inflation, yield curves and asset allocation returns in order to prepare and review these. We use the Long short-term memory (LSTM) method, a type of recurrent neural […]

The web session focuses on quantitative analyses of financial and non-financial risks of an insurance company and the effect and possible applications of risk mitigation techniques. After an introduction to the economic valuation of an insurance company, including stochastic valuation models and approximation techniques for life companies, and the building blocks of its economic balance […]

The amended Solvency II and the IRRD (Insurance Recovery and Resolution Directive) will become applicable as of 30 January 2027. They will extend the scope of actuarial work considerably. While basic actuarial tasks remain unchanged, additional requirements will need the involvement of actuaries.  The choice of appropriate scenarios for the medium- and long-term analysis of […]

Organised by the EAA - European Actuarial Academy GmbH in cooperation with the Lietuvos Aktuarų Draugija. The seminar will be held in person, giving participants the opportunity to learn on site alongside other actuarial professionals, exchange ideas directly, and receive immediate support from the lecturers. The venue is the 4-star hotel Courtyard Vilnius City Centre […]

Climate Risk scenarios are commonly used in the insurance industry for stress testing, but interpreting and communicating results is often challenging, given strong limitations and complex assumptions. This session will provide practical guidance on stress testing application in the ORSA context, focusing on financial risks, and provide context and foundations necessary in order to communicate […]

The two-day online web session is aimed at actuaries interested in getting started in the broad field of artificial intelligence. The aim is to teach key terms in the field of data science and artificial intelligence, essential concepts of machine learning, and social and regulatory frameworks. Developments in generative artificial intelligence will also be discussed. […]

The calculation of life insurance products is traditionally based on the approach of commutation values, whose table properties enable extensive actuarial calculations even without large computer capacities. However, especially for modern and more flexible life insurance tariffs, the calculation by means of commutation values reaches its limits, so that the calculation approach based on Markov […]

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly moving from experimentation to infrastructure in actuarial work. AI systems are beginning to influence decisions that were historically driven by statistical models, expert judgment, and regulatory constraints. This session focuses on understanding what is happening under the hood of modern Generative AI systems, particularly large language models and AI agents. What […]
