Update on Proposed Industry-University Cooperative Research Centers on Terrorism and Catastrophic Cyber Insurance
July 9, 2024 | Noon to 1 p.m.
Learn about the proposed Industry-University Cooperative Research Centers (IUCRC) for terrorism and catastrophic cyber risk insurance modeling and underwriting during this webinar, which features speakers from the Federal Insurance Office (FIO) and the National Science Foundation (NSF). The NSF has issued a call for proposals for "Research and Thought Leadership on Insurance Risk Modeling and Underwriting Related to Terrorism and Catastrophic Cyber Risks." Academic teams interested in submitting research proposals will have an opportunity to ask questions, as will those from industry interested in sponsoring research.
At the conclusion of this webinar, attendees:
- Understand some of the major issues challenging insurers to model terrorism and catastrophic cyber risk;
- Understand how the IUCRC will operate; and
- Have some ideas of topics which they would find useful if researched within the IUCRC.
Academy President Lisa Slotznick will moderate the conversation. Speakers include:
- Steven Seitz, Director, Federal Insurance Office
- Chanda Brady, Senior Insurance Regulatory Policy Analyst, Federal Insurance Office
- Mohan Kumar, IUCRC Program Director, National Science Foundation
This webinar is the first in a two-part series. The second webinar, to be held on July 16, will include a roundtable discussion among modelers experienced in dealing with terrorism and/or catastrophic cyber risk, providing an industry perspective on the most pressing challenges. Registration will open soon—make sure to save the date.
