SCOR: 2024 Actuarial Awards winners

As it has done every year since 1996, the SCOR group is presenting awards for the best research work in the field of actuarial science.

This competition was designed to promote the development of actuarial science, encourage research in this field and improve the understanding of risk management.

A new Actuarial Award program was launched in 2024 to include the Asia-Pacific region, as well as a new corporate scholarship program for actuarial studies in the UK.
