Research and development
The transfer of knowledge between business and research is an important element of our core commercial activities. Among other things, this exchange is indispensable for the underwriting and assessment of catastrophe risks. For some years now we have therefore supported the Geo Research Center in Potsdam, which engages in the systematic investigation and early detection of earthquakes.
Yet we also set great store by our dialogue with other universities. We assist a number of institutions of higher learning in Germany in a variety of ways – for example the University of Göttingen, where we sponsor a guest professorship in Anglo-American law to promote the internationalisation of legal training.
