Key Research Programmes
The Geneva Association develops only limited “in-house” research. Rather it devotes resources—both financial and project management—to outside research sources and stimulates other institutions and academia to address the right research topics. It manages a focused portfolio of research projects and priorities, which it reviews regularly with the help of the Scientific Advisory Committee and the Board. The discussions throughout the year with members, and especially the General Assembly, are fundamental and highly valuable sources of information on the development of research activities. The research programmes try to identify fundamental trends and strategic issues where insurance plays an increasing role in modern society. Other sources of information for potential research activities are, besides the usual sources of information, the expert conferences and seminars that are organised throughout the year and the various networks of contacts established by the research programmes during the past three decades. To study in depth some key questions that appear relevant to insurance activities, The Geneva Association has set up the following programmes:

Famous quotes containing the words key and/or research:
“It so happened that, a few weeks later, “Old Ernie” [Ernest Hemingway] himself was using my room in New York as a hide-out from literary columnists and reporters during one of his rare stopover visits between Africa and Key West. On such all-too-rare occasions he lends an air of virility to my dainty apartment which I miss sorely after he has gone and all the furniture has been repaired.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“It is a good morning exercise for a research scientist to discard a pet hypothesis every day before breakfast. It keeps him young.”
—Konrad Lorenz (1903–1989)
