Reinsurance broker Gallagher Re has opened its Gallagher Research Centre, which will sit within its Global Analytics & Advisory centre of excellence. The Gallagher Research Centre will provide access to independent, peer-reviewed academic work to support applied innovations across all Gallagher Re’s advisory and transactional products related to both natural and manmade perils.

Dr Tina Thomson (pictured), global head of research at Gallagher Re, said: “The vision of the GRC is to deliver invaluable insight through creating an ecosystem of academic partners and innovation that will provide a unique offering to our clients. It will drive research across the full spectrum of re/insurance – not just natural catastrophe risk.

“While natural catastrophe and climate change research continue to be a priority, the evolving complexity of risk over the past two years has clearly demonstrated why it is essential the GRC has a wider remit to more accurately capture and quantify the risks posed by unmodelled, emerging and man-made perils. All of which are becoming more self-evident.”
