The goal of this program is to place emerging professionals in policy or
scientific graduate programs with reinsurance companies for approximately
3 months over the summer (i.e., 15 May – 31 August). Reinsurers insure
insurance companies for catastrophe losses and therefore provide the
largest share of the financing for recovery from major natural
catastrophes. Much of their financial analysis is based on current
scientific understanding about catastrophe risk. By placing graduate
students into positions in the reinsurance industry the program seeks to
increase the awareness of students to the reinsurance industry and expose
the industry to highly skilled students in policy and the sciences. A
longer-term vision is greater interactions of the two
communities.
