Interns Epidemic Risk Solutions (m/f/d)*

The Epidemic Risk Solutions (ERS) unit develops new risk transfer solutions for epidemic and pandemic risks for the private and public sector. Epidemic outbreaks of infectious diseases can impact companies, the economy, and insurers’ portfolios severely as the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated once again. By better understanding and evaluating epidemic risk exposure, we work on establishing a new insurance market segment. Munich Re's ERS team consists of experts from various fields (e.g., pricing, underwriting, and epidemiology) and provides a one-stop shop for companies aiming at protecting themselves against the adverse effects of an epidemic outbreak or pandemic.
