Welcome to the
Young Actuaries initiative
We are delighted to present the transnational initiative for promoting the actuarial profession and supporting young actuarial talents in France, Germany, and Europe.
Established in 2024
The initiative was launched by the Institute des actuaires (IA) in France and the Deutsche Aktuarvereinigung (DAV) with a strong European perspective.
Unleashing potentials and fostering togetherness
The collaboration aims to support the career development of young actuaries and build cross-border communities across the European continent.
First program in March 2024
The CONVENTION A | EUROPE on 20 March 2024 will feature a session on “The Actuary of the Future”, highlighting the role of young actuaries in key developments such as sustainability and AI.
Our endeavor
The primary objectives of this collaborative effort are to foster engagement among young actuaries, streamline communication, underscore the significance of young professionals in global contexts, advance the actuarial profession, and advocate for equality.
Our purpose
The community-building and career development initiative for young actuaries invites other European actuarial associations to participate. It operates at the personal, association and societal levels and links them together. In this way, sustainable added value is generated in a variety of ways.
Our activities
The initiative is planning several activities with and for young actuaries in Europe. As a first step, the young actuaries from France and Germany will present “The Actuary of the Future” at CONVENTION A | EUROPE on 20th March, 2024. Other projects will follow soon … stay tuned!
Our partners
In April 2023, a bilateral meeting between the Institut des actuaires in France (IA) and the Deutsche Aktuarvereinigung (DAV) led to the idea of closely coordinating efforts on young actuaries and community building / career development. This led to the creation of a joint action at the beginning of 2024, which will now be developed across Europe.
“Young actuaries worldwide navigate the complexities of risk and finance, armed with their mathematical rigor and ready for innovation.
In a world that is increasingly complicated, with emerging risks influenced by interconnected factors, French and German young actuaries joining forces means they can share their dynamism to foster a renewed European actuarial excellence.”
Laurence Bauduin,
Chair, Institut des Actuaires (IA)
“For years, cross-border developments have become more important, e.g. accounting standards, sustainability and AI. This is accompanied by a need to work together across borders in order to effectively master today’s challenges.
With their joint initiative, the young actuaries from France and Germany are taking on a pioneering role that sets an example for other professions.”
Dr. Maximilian Happacher
Chair, Deutsche Aktuarvereinigung (DAV)
“The Young Actuaries initiative offers the opportunity to collaborate on subjects that affect us all, regardless of country.
What better way to shape the next generation of actuaries than to enable young people to join forces and learn new things together?”
Léa Emsalem,
Host, Club Jeunes Actuaires
“International cooperation among young actuaries is vital in today’s interconnected world.
By collaborating across borders we gain diverse perspectives, exchange knowledge and enhance our professional growth. It is also a great opportunity for innovation and creates a stronger actuarial community across Europe.“

Host, Stammtisch Köln, Netzwerk Junge Aktuar*innen
