Dr Piotr Manikowski, Associate Professot of the University of Economics in Poznan became a member of the board of Asia Pacific Risk and Insurance Association (APRIA). The scientist from the Poznań University Insurance Department has been a member of the Scientific Council and secretary of this organization since 2014.

APRIA is one of the three most important international insurance associations in the world. It has a global coverage and brings together scientists from almost all continents. They meet at annual conferences to present the results of the latest research and discussion on insurance and risk management.

Conferences are held in different countries. In 2017, thanks to the efforts of the employees of the Poznań University Insurance Department, the conference “Challenges in the Insurance Market: Transparency and Consumer Protection” took place in Poznań. Poland was the first country outside the Asia-Pacific region, which was granted the right to organize such a meeting.
