The Centre for Risk and Insurance Studies will be hosting the 29th UK Insurance Economists' Conference on Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th April 2007. Papers are invited on any subject of interest to economists and/or strategists working or researching in the areas of insurance, risk, or personal financial services. Applied or empirical research on the contribution of the insurance industry to the overall economy is particularly welcome.

The Conference runs over two days. The programme is planned to allow plenty of time for discussion, and so is usually limited to nine papers. Presentations and delegates are split evenly between academics and practitioners.

The conference will take place at the Nottingham University Business School, on the Jubilee Campus of the University of Nottingham. A conference fee covers registration, documentation and meals (including the conference dinner) and is waived for speakers. Overnight accommodation is available on the Jubilee Campus at reasonable rates, or in local hotels.

A final decision on the programme will be made by 4th December 2006.

Those interested in contributing should submit an one-page synopsis (e-mail, fax or post) by 14.00, Friday 24th November 2006 to:
