The Actuarial Association of Europe (AAE) is the umbrella organization representing the actuarial profession across Europe. It was established in 1978 under the name Groupe Consultatif des Associations d'Actuaires des Pays des Communautés Européennes (GC),. The name was later changed to Groupe Consultatif Actuariel Européen in 2002, and finally to its current name on January 1, 2014.
The AAE provides independent actuarial advice to key institutions of the European Union – the Commission, the Council of Ministers, the European Parliament, EIOPA (European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority). Its focus is on technical input and professional insight on issues related to insurance, pensions, risk management, demographics, climate risk, financial regulation, and broader public policy.
As of 2025, the AAE currently has 38 member associations in 37 European countries, representing over 29,000 actuaries. Advice and comments provided by the AAE on behalf of the European actuarial profession are totally independent of industry interests.. The AAE is listed in the EU Transparency Register under number 550855911144-54.
Structure and Activities
The AAE is governed by a General Assembly and a Board, supported by a network of Committees and Subcommittees. These groups focus on specialized areas, including:
Insurance Pensions Risk Management Professionalism Education Demographics (formerly Mortality) Climate-related and Sustainability Risk Data Science and Artificial Intelligence
Its work is powered by volunteers from its member associations, who contribute their expertise to technical discussions, policy recommendations, and regulatory consultations.
The AAE also contributes to the continuing professional development (CPD) of actuaries by offering seminars and webinars. It is actively involved in pan-European events, such as the European Actuarial Day (EAD) and the European Congress of Actuaries (ECA).
Through position papers, public statements, and consultation responses, the AAE provides the actuarial perspective on issues affecting European citizens and institutions.
