Welcome to the home page of the Risk Theory Society.

The Risk Theory Society, originally founded in August, 1963 as the Risk Theory Seminar, is a self-administered organization within the American Risk and Insurance Association (ARIA) whose purpose is to foster research into topics in risk theory and risk management. The Society accomplishes its mission by hosting an annual meeting where papers that have been distributed to members in advance of the meeting are presented and critically discussed in an extended time format. The Society has financial resources to provide assistance to authors who present papers.  Please contact the treasurer for more information. 

The Society's membership is small (less than 70 members) but diverse.  Most of the Society's members are faculty members at universities in North America, although major European and Asian universities are also represented.

The 2007 Seminar of the Risk Theory Society was held at the Pennsylvania State University on April 20-22, 2007.  The 2008 Seminar of the Risk Theory Society will be held at the Colorado State University in Fort Collins on April 25-27, 2008.
