Celebrating Success: Professor Darren Duxbury

Congratulations to Professor Darren Duxbury who was recently invited to join an expert panel in a live discussion on “Protection gaps: Addressing behavioural change” at the 2022 EIOPA conference.  During the discussion Darren explained how behavioral insights can be used to understand and help to address protection gaps in the insurance and pensions markets, drawing on much of his own work in behavioral finance and also including reference to the UKRI GCRF Living Deltas Hub.

The conference was live streamed and remains available on the EIOPA website.

The Panel discussion starts around 1:01:30. Darren’s main part starts at 1:06:00 and ends 1:21:08, after which Darren continues to contribute intermittently from 1:48:36 until the end of the panel at 2:08:30.

EIOPA’s Mission and tasks

“EIOPA is at the heart of insurance and occupational pensions supervision in the EU. Our aim is to foster financial stability and confidence in the insurance and pensions markets.

EIOPA is an independent advisory body to the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union. We are one of the EU agencies carrying out specific legal, technical or scientific tasks and giving evidence-based advice. In this way, we help shape informed policies and laws at EU and national levels. EIOPA is one of three European Supervisory Authorities. The other two are the European Banking Authority (EBA) and the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).”
