PRIX CCR CAT NAT

Launched in 2015, the purpose of the reward a doctoral thesis in the area of knowledge of natural disaster risks as well as the application of such knowledge to insurance and to risk prevention.

On 14 June 2023, at the 14th CCR CAT Day, the CCR Cat Nat Award was presented. This year, the jury was unable to decide between the two candidates who won the prize. So we have two joint winners!

 

Eugénie Cazaux was awarded a prize for her thesis: "Taking coastal risks into account in the land and property markets of the French metropolitan coastline: the ambivalence of the sea and attempts at public regulation of the 'desire for the shore' at the dawn of climate change".

Thomas Candela received an award for his thesis: "Cartographic optimisation for crisis and major risk management: the case of rapid mapping of post-disaster damage".

The CCR Cat Nat Prize was created to encourage research into natural disasters and their application to the insurance and risk prevention professions.

The aim of the prize is to reward a doctoral thesis on this subject that represents innovative, in-depth and original research work, providing a better understanding of the theoretical aspects and practical issues of the subject.

The CCR Cat Nat Prize is open at European level and rewards a winner designated by a jury made up of academics, experts from the research and insurance sectors, and CCR representatives.

Candidates must have defended a thesis between 1 July 2021 and 31 December 2022.
