SUMMARY:EAA Web Session 'GenAI: Is it all about Attention or also about Predictability?'
DESCRIPTION: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 does “attention” mean in technical terms\, and why is it foundational to how these systems process information? How do agentic systems differ from classical predictive models? And critically for actuarial practice: where does predictability break down? \nWe will examine both the capabilities and the limitations of AI. In domains characterized by uncertainty\, feedback loops\, and human behavior\, no system\, human or machine\, offers perfect foresight. Understanding these boundaries is essential for responsible adoption. The objective is not to replace actuarial judgment\, but to augment it\, while ensuring that humans remain accountable for decisions in high-stakes contexts.\nAnmeldeschluss: 2026-10-07\nLink: https://actuarial-academy.com/en/continuing-education/upcoming-trainings/detail/genai-is-it-all-about-attention-or-also-about-predictability-e0581/

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session 'Calculation of Life Insurance Products by Means of Markov Chains'
DESCRIPTION: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 chains is gaining in importance and has been used for some time in the mathematical cores of new portfolio administration systems. \nThis web session will provide an insight into the calculation of common life insurance products using the Markov approach. For this purpose\, first an overview of the best-selling life insurance products in some European countries and their classic calculation will be given. In the following\, the principle of Markov chains is explained and a model for calculating actuarial values is derived. \nFinally\, the online training also addresses problems that can arise when migrating from classically calculated portfolios to systems with the Markov approach.\nAnmeldeschluss: 2026-10-06\nLink: https://actuarial-academy.com/en/continuing-education/upcoming-trainings/detail/calculation-of-life-insurance-products-by-means-of-markov-chains-e0580/#c4838

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session 'Climate Change Scenarios: Application\, Evolution\, and Reporting'
DESCRIPTION: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 and interpret the results. We will discuss key evolutions in recent years with a particular emphasis on NGFS scenarios and the modelling of physical risks. \nThe session will be based around a case study for a generic insurer\, where we calculate impacts on the insurer’s capital position under different climate change scenarios\, thereby illustrating the practical elements of stress testing. In this context\, we will specifically talk about: Key steps to practical implementation of stress tests\, models for key financial variables relevant for insurance stress testing (e.g. interest rates\, credit spreads)\, NGFS scenarios and their recent evolution\, impact of scenario updates\, modelling of physical risks\, as well as key limitations and considerations for reporting.\nAnmeldeschluss: 2026-10-01\nLink: https://actuarial-academy.com/en/continuing-education/upcoming-trainings/detail/climate-change-scenarios-application-evolution-and-reporting-e0573/

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session \'CERA\, Module B: Taxonomy\, Modelling and Mitigation of Risks\'
DESCRIPTION: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 sheet\, the risk measure as well as the relevant regulatory requirements of Solvency II will be discussed. Different concepts of risk modelling covering from standard formula to fully internal models will be presented. \nMethods for modelling market\, credit\, operational and underwriting risks will be presented in detail. The discussion covers the risk definition and identification and how it can be distinguished from other risks. Qualitative and quantitative valuation approaches will be discussed – including scenario analyses\, stress tests\, deterministic and stochastic assessments. Furthermore\, crucial aspects of any model such as assumptions\, distributions\, calibration and validation are discussed\, as well as limitations and criteria for the adequacy of a model for solving a given problem. \nHaving introduced and discussed the risk modelling\, tools and techniques will be discussed that are available in the insurance business to mitigate these risks. That includes the discussion around the implications of reinsurance and securitisation as well as portfolio management. We will also present what life insurance companies subject to traditional with profit business can do to hedge their main risks. \nBoth elements\, risk modelling and measurement as well as risk mitigation\, are closely related and interact with each other\, what will be reflected in the topics presented and the structure of the seminar. \nThe consolidated view on risks in a company and an outlook on Group models close the course.\nAnmeldeschluss: 2026-09-03\nLink: https://actuarial-academy.com/en/continuing-education/upcoming-trainings/detail/cera-module-b-taxonomy-modelling-and-mitigation-of-risks-e0535/

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session 'Deep Learning in Finance for Pension Funds with Examples'
DESCRIPTION: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 network (RNN)\, as well as other neural networks. \nDeep learning is a type of machine learning that uses multi-layered neural networks. The libraries programmed with Python are fascinating areas of research because they help to verify time series forecasts and to understand how long it might take for the pension fund to reach the target value of the investment fluctuation reserve based on the current situation. \nRNN-based models\, particularly LSTMs\, are increasingly being used to capture complex spatio–temporal dependencies\, while hybrid architectures combine convolutional and recurrent components (i.e.\, CNN-LSTM). Researchers have developed hybrid models that further improve prediction accuracy\, which is very important for financial forecasting.\nAnmeldeschluss: 2026-06-25

SUMMARY:EAA Web Session 'How to Read the IFRS Balance Sheet for Insurers'
DESCRIPTION: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 insurance companies present their obligations and their financial performance stemming from insurance contracts. \nAs experience shows\, actuaries play a key role in that new reporting regime: The standard requires many fundamental decisions\, which determine the reporting of the amount and profile of IFRS results for years to come. Actuaries need to understand the corresponding consequences for reporting and to be able to explain it to their top-management. They also play a key role in the preparation of landmark decisions and need to closely collaborate and communicate with other functions\, i.e. the accounting function. \nAccordingly\, a strong focus of this web session is to assist actuaries to better understand the key reporting requirements of IFRS 17\, in particular regarding the IFRS balance sheet and statement(s) of financial performance (Profit and Loss as well as Other Comprehensive Income). The web session will be useful for both finance and actuarial experts involved in IFRS 17 reporting and analysis or simply interested in the practical application of this ground-breaking new standard.\nAnmeldeschluss: 2026-06-22\nLink: https://actuarial-academy.com/en/continuing-education/upcoming-trainings/detail/eaa-web-session-how-to-read-the-ifrs-balance-sheet-for-insurers-e0538/

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 'Causal AI for Actuarial Models'
DESCRIPTION: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 they often struggle with why. While a predictive model may identify a strong association between a specific variable and a loss\, it does not establish a direct cause-and-effect relationship. Building on Judea Pearl’s ideas\, Causal AI helps actuaries move from correlations in historical data to causal relationships. \nIs causal inference a fashion of the moment? No—for the modern actuary\, it represents a step toward actively influencing outcomes. Instead of asking\, „What usually happens?“ actuaries can now answer\, „What would happen if we changed this specific factor?“. By using causal diagrams (DAGs) and the „Ladder of Causation\,“ actuaries can distinguish true risk drivers from collider bias. \nCausal AI enables product designs that reflect contemporary lifestyle habits. For instance\, it can support creating adaptive premiums\, improving transparency and fairness in underwriting by embedding causal reasoning directly into the sales process\, and leveraging IoT data with updated causal analysis to provide a flexible subscription that reacts to the user’s changing risk profile. \nIn this seminar\, we will explore the formal scientific discipline of causal inference and the transition into the actuarial field. Will explore new actuarial toolkits needed to address challenges in the incoming actuarial work.\nAnmeldeschluss: 2026-06-15\nLink: https://actuarial-academy.com/en/continuing-education/upcoming-trainings/detail/eaa-web-session-causal-ai-for-actuarial-models-e0563/

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 'FIDA for Actuaries: Challenge or Opportunity?
DESCRIPTION:Open insurance is once again the talk of the town: Despite a lot of resistance from the industry\, its relevance will certainly increase over time. Driven by the market – but also driven by regulation. This web session will provide insights into the new Financial Data Access regulation (FIDA) that is currently one of the hot topics discussed between the political trilogue parties at EU level. \nDuring this web session we will discuss\, based on the current status of the regulatory developments: \n– What is FIDA? How does it fit into the overall European economic strategy?\n– What is the timeline for introduction of FIDA?\n– Which types of insurance\, products and data are affected by FIDA?\n– How does the data exchange process work in practice?\n– What are technical and data requirements to be implemented when preparing for FIDA implementation?\n– Explore session: Focus on product development\, pricing\, underwriting and other areas of potential FIDA use cases. How can insurers – and in particular\, actuaries – make use of new data availabilities made possible by FIDA? \nAnmeldeschluss: 2026-05-14\nLink: https://actuarial-academy.com/en/continuing-education/upcoming-trainings/detail/eaa-web-session-fida-for-actuaries-challenge-or-opportunity-e0561/

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.
