Subject: Lloyd's 2015 Science of Risk Prize - Big data & Cyber risk - Closing date for entries: 25 September 2015
Dear Cyber Society Live members,
I recently came across the Cyber Society Live mailing list during our horizon scanning process and thought I would drop you all an email about our Science of Risk Prize, which awards cash prizes to academics for recently published research relevant to the insurance industry. Vice-Chancellors of all the UK universities did receive a letter regarding the prize earlier in the year but details may not have filtered down to individual departments.
To give you some background, Lloyd's is the world's specialist insurance market where cover is provided for a wide range of risks. We help individuals and companies manage risks ranging from property damage to third-party liability. To help us better understand these risks, it's important for us to keep track of academic research in a variety of fields. Detailed understanding of risk is essential to everything we do at Lloyd’s, and the Science of Risk prize is designed to challenge researchers and Lloyd’s insurers to stretch their thinking. For researchers, the prize offers an opportunity to translate original work for a business audience. For insurers, the prize generates insights in to some of the most challenging risk management problems they encounter.
In essence, we are asking researchers to submit recently published peer reviewed research papers illustrating their expertise in risk based subjects of interest to insurers and reinsurers.
Entries for the 2015 Science of Risk Prize will be accepted under two categories:
• Big data analytics and machine learning
• Cyber risk
Key dates
• Closing date for entries: 25 September 2015.
• Shortlisted entrants notified: Mid – October.

Prize

• A prize of £1,000 for best runner-up in each category will also be awarded.
• An awards dinner in Lloyd’s historic Adam Room will be held for the category winners and runner-up in each category.
• The winners are expected to present their work at a conference at Lloyd’s prior to the awards dinner. All entrants including shortlisted entrants are also expected to show their work on A1 portrait posters, which will be shown at the event.
• Attendance at the dinner and conference is expected for all those receiving monetary prizes.
Eligibility
• We are keen to receive entries from researchers at every level in their career. So our competition is open to PhD students as well as qualified Post Doctoral research staff.
• You must be either working in a university department or at a government (owned or part-funded) research organisation.
