Operating on reinsurance markets throughout the world, SCOR is involved in the various fields of research concerned with risk. SCOR's teams use their risk assessment and control skills to deal with Life insurance (disability, longevity, mortality, long-term care, health etc.), Non-Life insurance (natural catastrophes, business interruption, third party liability, credit, surety, accidents, fires, other property damage, etc.) and the economic and financial environment (financial markets, inflation, exchange rates, interest rates, derivatives, real estate, etc.).
SCOR has already developed several partnershipsi with the academic and research worlds, and has its own Life reinsurance research centers. SCOR also organizes actuarial awards in many European countries: Germany, France, Italy, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. The 2010 French Actuarial Awards took place yesterday in Paris.
The creation of the SCOR Global Risk Center, which was announced as part of the Group's strategic plan for 2010-2013, "Strong Momentum", is in line with this long-term commitment.

Fed by a network of correspondents in the Group's various offices throughout the world, the SCOR Global Risk Center is also open to all contributions (professional work documents, academic research works, etc.) that it may receive for publication or referencing.

Denis Kessler, Chairman and Chief Executive Office of SCOR, commented: "Through its lines of business and its history, SCOR is at the confluence of knowledge and expertise in terms of risk. The SCOR Global Risk Center will bring together a large number of works completed by or in association with SCOR. Moreover we want anyone who may be concerned by risk – insurers, reinsurers, risk managers, public decision-makers, company directors, academics, students, individuals, and so on – to be able to find in the SCOR Global Risk Center the best external resources that we can index in the various different areas of risk. This project is also open to any external contributions we may receive. SCOR is thus reaffirming its commitment to research in the field of risk and to spreading knowledge in this area".
