SUMMARY:EAA Web Session 'Power Query\, Power Pivot & Power BI for Actuaries'
DESCRIPTION:Starting from Microsoft Excel\, this web session will demonstrate how Power Query\, Power Pivot\, and Power BI can be integrated to create a seamless and efficient actuarial data workflow. Power Query\, via the M language\, enables automated data extraction and transformation. Power Pivot allows for the construction of robust Data Models and the use of the DAX language for advanced calculations. \nThese Data Models can be copied directly from Power Query into Power BI\, where interactive visualisations and reporting further enhance actuarial analysis. The session focuses on practical actuarial examples\, illustrating how the combined use of M\, DAX\, and the Data Model across all three tools enables actuaries to manage complex data tasks more efficiently and deliver clearer\, more impactful results.\nAnmeldeschluss: 2026-06-11\nLink: https://actuarial-academy.com/en/continuing-education/upcoming-trainings/detail/eaa-web-session-power-query-power-pivot-power-bi-for-actuaries-e0560/

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session 'Modelling Lapse Rates in Life Insurance'
DESCRIPTION:The purpose of the session is to provide a comprehensive technical overview of methods used to model life insurance lapse and surrender rates\, while demonstrating how these approaches integrate with actuarial cash flow models\, which support accounting\, pricing\, risk\, and solvency assessments. \nKey determinants of lapse behaviour will be discussed\, ranging from market-dependent factors such as interest rates\, unemployment\, and economic cycles to contract-specific influences like product design\, policyholder demographics\, and distribution channels. The session will also include a review of empirical findings\, including competing hypotheses that link lapse rates to interest rate movements or policyholder liquidity needs. \nSeveral modelling concepts will be overviewed. These include traditional segment-based assumptions\, statistical approaches such as one-factor models\, generalized linear models (GLM) with emphasis on logistic regression\, and their extensions. Machine learning approaches such as classification and regression trees\, random forests\, gradient boosting\, and neural networks will also be considered\, with attention to their opportunities and constraints in actuarial contexts. \nFrom a technical perspective\, the session will focus on Key determinants of lapse behaviour\, variable selection\, and diagnostic tools\, including residual analysis\, goodness-of-fit tests\, and predictive performance metrics. Backtesting and validation strategies will also be discussed. Finally\, the session will address practical aspects of implementation\, including deployment in R and/or Python\, integration with actuarial systems and its challenges.\nAnmeldeschluss: 2026-06-09\nLink: https://actuarial-academy.com/en/continuing-education/upcoming-trainings/detail/eaa-web-session-modelling-lapse-rates-in-life-insurance-e0551/

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session 'Non-Life Pricing Using Statistical Techniques with R Applications'
DESCRIPTION:Non-Life insurance is facing many challenges ranging from fierce competition on the market or evolution in the distribution channel used by the consumers to evolution of the regulatory environment. Pricing is the central link between solvency\, profitability and market shares (volume). Improving pricing practice encompasses several dimensions: \n– Technical: Is our pricing adequate to cover the underlying cost of risk of my policyholders and the other costs we are facing? Which are the key variables driving the risk? Are they adequately taken into account in our pricing? What’s the impact of the claims history of my policyholder on its expected risk? In which segment are we profitable and in which are we not profitable?\n– Competition: At what price will we attract the segments that we target and price out those that we do not want? Is the positioning of our competitors influencing our pricing practice and our profitability? What’s my position with respect to my competitors in term of pricing? What are the segments in which I am well positioned and the segments where I am not well positioned?\n– Elasticity: What price (evolution) are our existing customers prepared to accept? Does the sensitivity to price evolution depend on the profile of my customer?\n– Segmentation: Is our segmentation granular enough for our purposes? \nThe aim of this web session is to present some advanced actuarial/statistical techniques used in non-life pricing or underwriting. The web session focuses on selected practical problems faced by pricing actuaries and product managers. \nLink: https://actuarial-academy.com/en/continuing-education/upcoming-trainings/detail/eaa-web-session-non-life-pricing-using-statistical-techniques-with-r-applications-e0549/

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session 'The New Insurance Performance Metrics (in Gaap\, Solvency 2 & IFRS)' on 22/23 & 25/26 June 2026
DESCRIPTION:on 22/23 & 25/26 June 2026 \nDue to the inversion of the production cycle\, the insurance business is very different from other traditional industries. Understanding\, measuring and managing the performance of insurance companies is difficult due to the specific risks insurance companies must cover. It is therefore essential that you\, as an employee of the insurance sector\, understand how your company operates\, how its activity is measured via the balance sheet and the income statement\, which main regulations influence this measure\, which indicators are used to assess the performance and what levers can improve this performance. \nThe aim of this web session is to:\n– Understand how to read an insurance balance sheet (with a focus on technical provisions and own funds)\n– Be able to read an income statement (P&L) across regulatory frameworks\n– Compute relevant Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)\n– Understand the impact of risk mitigation (reinsurance) and Assets and Liabilities Management (ALM) on the KPIs \nWe will cover life as well as non-life insurance. Health insurance will not be specifically covered.\nAnmeldeschluss: 2026-06-18

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session Non-Life Reserving
DESCRIPTION:As Insurance is being impacted by new and disruptive technology\, how will actuarial reserving techniques be impacted? Whilst triangle methods have traditionally been seen as the key methods in the reserving area\, this may be challenged in the future by more complex expectations\, improving technology\, modelling capabilities\, etc.\nReserving practices are expected to keep changing\, as the influences of big data and\nregulatory requirements continue to evolve.\nThe aim of this workshop is to \n\nRefresh classical actuarial/statistical techniques used in non-life reserving (Gaap and Solvency 2).\nFocus on some practical problems faced by reserving actuaries\, by presenting practical examples.\nIntroduce more advanced techniques used in non-life reserving in order to open new perspectives on more granular reserving calculation\, case estimates\, etc.

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session Introduction into Special Aspects of Life Reinsurance
DESCRIPTION:After an initial general introduction to reinsurance\, we will look at the specific risks in life (re)insurance and appropriate reinsurance solutions. In this context we will also analyse specific terms commonly used in non-life insurance\, such as loss frequency and loss amount.\nConcrete examples will be used to illustrate the differences between life and non-life\nreinsurance. In this context\, we will also take a closer look at the possible maximum loss (PML) known from property and casualty insurance and apply it to life reinsurance.\nUsing an Excel model\, the impact of life reinsurance on the risk profile and income statement of a life insurer is analysed in a practical manner in order to identify possible optimizations in life insurer’s earnings situation.

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session Actuarial Data Science – Basic
DESCRIPTION:Due to technological progress in connection with Data Science and Digitalization\, summarized under the buzzword Big Data\, a plethora of opportunities and challenges for the industry is arising. Technological developments have now also reached the insurance industry and thus have a direct impact on the working world of actuaries.\nUnder the heading Actuarial Data Science\, the procedures and methods of data mining are embedded in the actuarial context. These range from mathematics-driven statistical methods for derivation of insights from data to computation-driven methods sometimes summarized as machine learning. As a result of almost unlimited computing capacity through cloud computing and wide availability of training data\, tried and tested methods of machine learning\, such as artificial neural networks\, are experiencing a renaissance in theory and practice.\nThis seminar is the first part of a four-part series at the German Actuarial Association (DAV)\, where we cover a wide variety of topics ranging from fundamentals of digitalization in the insurance industry to data management and deep learning. Also\, it is based on the learning objectives of the DAV for Actuarial Data Science Basic\, which is part of the actuarial training in Germany.

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session CERA\, Module A: Quantitative Methods of ERM
DESCRIPTION:The 4-day web session assists actuaries in broadening their knowledge about modern\nquantitative financial and actuarial modelling; these topics form an essential part of the CERA syllabus. At the beginning of the online training we give a brief overview of the EAA-route to the CERA designation. The core part of the web session begins with an introduction to the modern theory of risk measures. Next\, a number of statistical techniques are discussed\, that are highly\nactuarial-academy.com relevant for the analysis of actuarial and financial data and for the model-building process in risk management. Among others\, we will consider extreme value theory\, dependence modelling\, copulas\, and various aspects of integrated risk management. The training continues with an introduction to the modelling and the management of interest rate and credit risk. In particular\, participants will learn how to price simple interest options or Credit Default Swaps\, how to account for counterparty risk and how to deal with credit portfolio risk.\nThe web session consists of lectures and exercise sessions. In fact\, exercise sessions\, where various exercises and supplementary examples are discussed\, form an integral part of the seminar: they help the participants to understand the qualitative and quantitative techniques introduced in the lectures\, and they are a key element in the preparation for the CERA exam.

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session From Excel Tariff Calculators to LLM-Powered Python Code
DESCRIPTION:Excel-based tariff calculators remain a cornerstone of actuarial work in life insurance\, but they come with well-known limitations: complex formulas and embedded VBA code\, a lack of transparency\, and difficulties in scaling or integrating with modern IT environments. For actuarial migrations and product validations\, these tools are still widely used – yet they are also one of the main bottlenecks when it comes to efficiency and reproducibility.\nRecent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) provide new opportunities to overcome these challenges. Instead of manually rewriting legacy Excel logic\, actuaries can now use LLMs to automatically port existing tariff calculators into structured\, well-tested Python code. This enables reproducibility\, improves maintainability\, and opens the door for automation in future\nactuarial workflows.\nIn this web session\, we will showcase two complementary approaches to this task. The first approach is a “crafted” workflow\, where actuaries interact directly with the LLM using screenshots\, formulas\, and VBA modules to achieve a working Python prototype within a short time. The second approach is an “industrial” workflow\, designed for repeatability and automation\, where Excel structures are systematically exported into text formats and processed end-to-end by the LLM. Both approaches will be illustrated with a real-life life insurance example\, highlighting their strengths\, limitations\, and practical implications.\nParticipants will not only see how LLMs can handle complex actuarial logic\, but also how such methods can reduce manual effort\, accelerate migration projects\, and prepare actuarial teams for a future where AI becomes a natural part of actuarial toolchains. The session bridges the gap between everyday actuarial work in Excel and modern coding environments\, showing how actuaries can leverage LLMs to make the transition both approachable and scalable.

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session 'Worldwide Mortality: From Historical Trends to Future Projections'
DESCRIPTION:Life expectancy is a key metric for understanding mortality trends and it varies widely depending on factors such as age\, gender and geography. During this websession\, we will delve into the latest research and data on mortality trends and explore how they have changed over time. Since the middle of the 20th century\, world-wide mortality has steadily improved\, but not at the same rate in all regions\, so that clear differences can be recognised between countries. In some OECD – countries\, there has even been a recent decline in mortality improvement\, and the COVID-19 pandemic has at least temporarily reinforced this trend.\nAnmeldeschluss: 2026-01-25\nLink: https://actuarial-academy.com/seminars/seminar?No=E0525

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session 'Worldwide Mortality: From Historical Trends to Future Projections'
DESCRIPTION:Life expectancy is a key metric for understanding mortality trends and it varies widely depending on factors such as age\, gender and geography. During this websession\, we will delve into the latest research and data on mortality trends and explore how they have changed over time. \nSince the middle of the 20th century\, world-wide mortality has steadily improved\, but not at the same rate in all regions\, so that clear differences can be recognised between countries. In some OECD – countries\, there has even been a recent decline in mortality improvement\, and the COVID-19 pandemic has at least temporarily reinforced this trend.\nWe analyse different age groups\, their causes of death and how they coincide with mortality developments. In addition to that\, we will discuss the drivers behind changes in mortality\, such as advances in medicine and public health\, changes in lifestyle and socioeconomic factors. \nUnderstanding the various drivers of mortality is essential for predicting future trends and consequently for the assessment of the biometric risk in life- and pension insurance. \nOur online training will also explore the implications of changing life expectancies for our work as actuaries. We will discuss how we can use data and analysis to better understand these changes and make informed decisions about the future. In this context\, we also outline the strengths and limitations of the Lee-Carter model as a widely used model for predicting future mortality rates. \nLast but not least\, we discuss general uncertainties around future mortality\, where we focus especially on the demographic and geographical factors analysed in the first part of the lecture. \nAnmeldeschluss: 2026-01-26\nLink: https://actuarial-academy.com/seminars/seminar?No=E0525
