Nat-Cat Model Validation: How can natural catastrophe models be validated with innovative approaches
A group of master students of the actuarial program went to Zurich to present their projects at SCOR, one of the world's largest reinsurers, as part of the "Management of (Re)insurance companies" course. The groups had worked intensively on the analysis and modeling of catastrophe risks based on real data. The insurance of natural catastrophes is a particularly interesting and challenging area of non-life insurance due to the enormous loss amounts involved. The course provides the students very valuable practical insights into the application of theory in practice.
