Advance your strategic understanding of the insurance industry.

Engage with leading regulators, industry executives and academic experts in an intensive, high-level learning environment.

Insurance is changing — shaped by regulation, technological innovation, emerging risks and new business models. The EERIA Summer School provides a structured and practice-oriented understanding of these developments from both industry and supervisory perspectives.

Through expert-led sessions and peer exchange, participants develop capabilities relevant to regulation, corporate governance, risk-based supervision, digital transformation and sustainability.

EERIA Summer School is an intensive and interactive five-day programme that accelerates your understanding and mastery of the insurance business models you need to deliver game-changing impact within your organisation and ecosystem. The programme explores each issue through the use of real-world case studies and open discussion with guest lecturers coming from supervision, industry and academia. You absorb knowledge and translate that knowledge directly into highly practical, actionable insights continuously – exchanging perspectives and experience with peers from a diversity of geographies. The learning experience delivers transformational impact that is as immediate as it is enduring.
