New Insurance Risk and Finance Research Centre at NTU
French global reinsurance company SCOR has established a research centre at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), to conduct applied research in insurance risk and related issues specific to the Asia-Pacific. The Insurance Risk and Finance Research Centre which will be funded by SCOR, aims to produce research that will help the insurance industry meet Asia’s growing protection needs and also encourage a greater culture of study, dialogue and cooperation of insurance and actuarial science issues, between industry and academic in the region.
The centre will undertake two or three research projects annually, and fund the research of PhD students at NBS which will be shared at an annual high-level regional seminar.
This is the latest strategic partnership that Nanyang Business School has secured, on top of the agreement signed in February 2011 with the International Air Transport Association (IATA), for two new scholarships in aviation management at NTU.
