InterAct Day 2026

Join us for InterAct Day, our annual gathering bringing together researchers and professionals from the insurance and pension sector to hear about current research, exchange ideas and strengthen connections between academia and industry.

This year’s programme features invited research talks by Julia Eisenberg, Matthias Fahrenwaldt, Thordis Thorarinsdottir, Marcus Christiansen and Anne Balter, alongside presentations from current and recently completed InterAct’s PhD students.

The invited keynote presentations are open to the public and begin at 11:00. The morning session featuring InterAct’s PhD research is internal, with attendance restricted to employees of InterAct-affiliated companies.

There will be opportunities for discussion throughout the day, which concludes with a reception from 16:00 to 16:30.
