The Groupe Consultatif
The Groupe was established in 1978 to bring together the actuarial associations in the European Union to represent the actuarial profession in discussion with the European Union institutions on existing and proposed EU legislation which has an impact on the profession.
The Groupe also now provides a forum for discussion amongst all actuarial associations throughout Europe. Thirty-five actuarial associations from thirty-three European countries are represented on the Groupe.
Forthcoming Events
The Groupe's first European Congress of Actuaries - ECA 2012 - will take place in Brussels on 7/8 June 2012. The theme is The European Actuary of the Future.
While European leaders are struggling to find a way out of the financial crisis and seeking political answers to the challenge, the Groupe Consultatif Actuariel Européen is organising the first European Congress of Actuaries, which will unveil how actuaries are looking at the financial crisis and what advice these professionals provide, within the overall theme of The European Actuary of the Future.
There will be parallel streams on Solvency, Enterprise Risk Management, and the Role of the Actuary. The target audience includes actuaries , authorities and academia as well as other financial professionals, policy-makers, politicians and others interested in the future of risk management in Europe. Speakers include leading experts from the actuarial profession as well as from the European Commission, EIOPA, the European Parliament, influential figures from industry, national regulatory authorities, and other key decision-makers.
