1st ASTIN Bulletin Conference

14 - 16 January 2026

We are delighted to host the inaugural ASTIN Bulletin Conference at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, from 14 - 16 January 2026.

As the scientific journal of the International Actuarial Association (IAA), ASTIN Bulletin has been established as the cornerstone of actuarial research since its founding in 1958. Today, it stands as the leading international journal in the field. This first ASTIN Bulletin Conference aims to bring together academics and practitioners to exchange ideas, present cutting-edge research, and foster collaboration in actuarial science and related disciplines.

The conference will feature keynote presentations from Kornelia Papp (Zurich Insurance Group), Ronald Richman (InsureAI), Steven Vanduffel (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) and Ruodu Wang (University of Waterloo). In addition, we will organize an interesting program of contributed talks. We particularly encourage young scholars to submit their abstracts for presentation.

We look forward to welcoming you to ETH Zurich in January 2026 for an engaging and insightful event!
