The Geneva Association
The Geneva Association 9th Health and Ageing Conference is scheduled for November 8-9, 2012 in Stockholm, Sweden and is hosted by Länsförsäkringar AB.
The aim of the conference is to understand better the nature of genetics and how it can influence insurance, its function, and its role in covering risks. In particular, it will address the following topics:
· medical aspects of modern genetics (gene therapy, gene technology, pharmacogenetics, genetic testing, personalised prevention);
· legislative aspects of using genetic information by insurers;
· the role of genetics in underwriting, genetics and risk classification, social justice versus actuarial fairness;
· ethical issues linked to the use of genetic information;
· public perception and awareness of genetic information;
· liability risks linked to the use of genetics.
There is no conference fee. The conference will only comprise a limited number of participants to guarantee an active exchange of opinions and animated discussions.
The programme is available at http://www.genevaassociation.

JRI Website
The service that hosts the JRI website has been down for two weeks. ARIA has been in constant communication with the provider. What was to be a 48-72 hour fix associated with a move to a new data center has not been resolved. A listserv announcement will be circulated when further details become available.
