Proceedings of the Researchers‘ Corner for the 15th Annual Meeting of the Sponsoring Group Reinsurance 2022

The 15th Annual Meeting of the Sponsoring Group Reinsurance [Förderkreis Rückversicherung] was held 24 June 2022. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was held in online format again this year. Some 110 representatives of the (re)insurance companies involved in the Sponsoring Group took part in the meeting, along with guests. Offered for the eighth time as part of the Annual Meeting, the Researchers’ Corner gave the seven academic researchers at the Cologne Research Centre for Reinsurance an opportunity to deliver a presentation on the research project in which each is involved in 2022. Over the course of three sessions, the most important results of the scientific studies by the Cologne Research Centre for Reinsurance were presented and discussed. The heterogeneity of the topics presented reflects the dovetailing of the Cologne Research Centre with reinsurance practice. Session 1 a) Erik Winkler (LL. B.): Insurance Capital Standard (ICS) b) Lihong Wang (M.Sc., FCII): Developments in Chinese Online Insurance 2022 c) Jörg Dirks (M.Sc., FCII): Retrocession within an ESG-compliant business orientation Session 2 a) Robert Joniec (M.Sc., FCII, cand.
