Data – Ethics – Actuary
Data Science & Data Ethics Conference
29/30 June 2020 | Düsseldorf, Germany
As the leading provider of high-class actuarial education and CPD activities in Europe, the European Actuarial Academy (EAA) will be hosting its first two-day conference with the aim
- to present up-to-date solutions to technical problems,
- to share best practices and personal insights
- as well as to offer a discussion forum for actuarial experts.
Key facts:
The actuarial focus has changed significantly over the last couple of years. Computational power is increasing with exponential growth, in addition more and more data is available. This combination puts the actuarial profession into a position where a new understanding has to be developed on today´s possibilities of actuarial science and the ethical implications of it. The new role of actuaries within big data and ongoing digitalisation is not yet fully defined. Discussions among colleagues and exchange of ideas is needed! The EAA is delighted to offer all interested actuaries and other experts a forum for exchange:
