Students get a front-row seat to see reinsurance in action

A group of around 20 students specialising in reinsurance and risk management at the Cologne University of Applied Sciences attended this year’s Baden-Baden Reinsurance Symposium, gaining a first-hand glimpse into the industry they are preparing to join.

We caught up with a few of them, who were excited to witness the global reinsurance market in motion and learn from real-time discussions.

An alumnus of the university now working as a non-life underwriting assistant at DEVK Re and helping coordinate the visit, told Baden-Baden Today that the trip reflects the university’s commitment to blending academic learning with real-world experience.

The students had the chance to observe market discussions between leading reinsurers, brokers and clients and to understand the dynamics of renewals and negotiation better.

For many, it was their first major industry event, an eye-opening experience that brought classroom theory to life. The photo was taken outside the Kongresshaus, where they mingled with professionals and soaked in the atmosphere of one of the reinsurance industry’s key annual gatherings.
