EAA e-Conference on Data Science & Data Ethics

Introduction & Programme

Organised by the EAA – European Actuarial Academy GmbH.

We are thrilled to announce our already 7th e-Conference, centred around the captivating theme of 'Data Science & Data Ethics'.

In an era marked by unprecedented technological advancements, the actuarial landscape has experienced profound transformations. The exponential growth of computational power and the abundance of data have converged and provide an exciting opportunity for the actuarial profession to redefine its boundaries and explore the ethical implications of this new field.

The role of actuaries is evolving at an incredible pace but remains incompletely defined. We are at a crucial point where a new understanding of the possibilities of actuarial science and its ethical obligations needs to be created. Best practice experience sharing, and exchange of ideas are needed. We are delighted to offer all interested actuaries and other experts a forum for knowledge exchange:

On 20 May 2026, the virtual EAA e-Conference on 'Data Science & Data Ethics' will take place. The programme will blend keynote speeches featuring insights from renowned experts with selected talks delivered by professionals participating through a CALL FOR SPEAKERS, providing a diverse range of perspectives and food for thought.
