RiskLab is an inter-university research institute, concentrating on precompetitive, ap-plied research in the general area of (integrated) risk management for finance and insurance. The laboratory, founded in 1994 as a virtual research cooperation, was reorganized in 1999 and is now physically located in ETH's main building. RiskLab is presently co-sponsored by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETHZ) in Zu-rich, the Credit Suisse Group, the Swiss Reinsurance Company and UBS AG. Vari-ous members of the Department of Mathematics at the ETHZ and the Swiss Banking Institute at the University of Zurich are informally linked to RiskLab. The research car-ried out at RiskLab combines academic, methodological research with a strong input from and interaction with the industry partners. Besides the research director and two postdocs, several additional researchers and guests are often appointed to RiskLab on the basis of specific projects between industry and academia. RiskLab is open for further institutional partners.
