Research Goals
The ICRM undertakes research projects and integrate efforts in science, engineering, finance, technology, socio-economic aspects related catastrophe risk. The goal of ICRM’s path-breaking research is to help the community better understand the fundamental characteristics of risks related to natural disasters or threats. ICRM has in place a long-term research plan that covers topics most relevant to the Asian region. The plan covers three main thrusts in risk modelling and management, namely :

  • Flood risk modelling and management
  • Earthquake risk assessment and management
  • Financial engineering and insurance related risk management

Through this research, ICRM aims to develop Asian catastrophe risk models and build up industry benchmarks and indices to reflect uniquely Asian catastrophe risks. These leading research outputs will be shared with the industry in a series of workshops on the three main thrusts that ICRM researchers and faculty will conduct over the next few years.
