53th EGRIE seminar & Colloquium and GRIR special issue “Transformative Challenges in Agricultural Insurance”

The 53th seminar of the European Group of Risk and Insurance Economists (EGRIE) will be held in Rennes, France, on September 20-23, 2026, organized by SMART in collaboration with CREM and EHESP/UMR Arènes.  Submissions can be on any topic in economics, finance or management science that relates to risk and insurance.

In extension to the seminar, the Geneva Risk and Insurance Review (GRIR) and EGRIE are organizing a Colloquium associated with a GRIR special issue on “Transformative Challenges in Agricultural Insurance.”  The goal is to bring together scholars from risk and insurance economics and scholars from agricultural economics for new productive collaboration on risk and risk management in this era of agricultural transformation.  Researchers are encouraged to submit papers on this theme covering one or more of the three noted transformational challenges: climate change, agroecological transition, digital revolution.  The Colloquium will occur on September 23, 2026, following the EGRIE seminar.

Completed papers or detailed abstracts should be submitted by April 15, 2026.
