Announcement: IME 2005, Québec
The École d'actuariat of Université Laval will host the 9th International Congress on Insurance: Mathematics and Economics on July 6-8, 2005. The Congress will feature invited talks by Andrew Cairns (Heriot-Watt University, Scotland), Jan Dhaene (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium) and Gordon Willmot (University of Waterloo, Canada).
Prior to the Congress, the École d'actuariat also hosts two days of Short Courses of six hours each on two different topics. In one course, Jan Beirlant (Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium) will speak on "Extreme Value Analysis and Applications to Reinsurance". In the other course, Gordon Willmot (University of Waterloo, Canada) will speak on the "Analysis of the Insurer's Surplus and Related Quantities". These courses should appeal to researchers and practitioners alike.
Over the past eight years, the IME Congress has established itself as one of the main actuarial conferences worldwide. The Congress provides researchers --- actuaries and non-actuaries --- with the opportunity to present their latest work in the general area of Actuarial Science. Topics covered are relevant to the aims and scope of the international journal "Insurance: Mathematics and Economics". More information is available in the attached Call for Papers.
In 2005, the Congress and Short Courses will be held in historic Québec during the lively International Summer Festival. The old quarter of Québec was declared a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1985. This is the only fortified city in North America. The host of the Congress, École d'actuariat, distinguishes itself by its comprehensive specialized degree in Actuarial Science. The ten Faculty members are active in fields of Actuarial Science such as Risk Theory, Life and Non-Life Insurance, and Pension Mathematics. The École d'actuariat also hosted the 36th Actuarial Research Conference in 2001.
