Research and development

The transfer of knowledge between business and research is an important element of our core commercial activities. Among other things, this exchange is indispensable for the underwriting and assessment of catastrophe risks. For some years now we have therefore supported the Geo Research Center in Potsdam, which engages in the systematic investigation and early detection of earthquakes.

Yet we also set great store by our dialogue with universities. We assist a number of institutions of higher learning in Germany in a variety of ways – for example the University of Hannover, where we sponsor an endowed professorship in actuarial science.
