The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) established today its Consultative Expert Group on Data Use in Insurance, following a call for candidates launched in December 2024.
The establishment of this multidisciplinary Consultative Expert Group was driven by the complexities related to the use of data and its potential deep societal impact, coupled with the specificities of the insurance sector.
The findings of the Consultative Expert Group will support EIOPA’s future work on data sharing and its efforts to address emerging challenges and opportunities in the context of digitalisation. It will provide a basis for our collective reflection how to optimise, with data, the positive impact of insurance for the benefit of the economy and society, while keeping in mind the need for ethical data use.
The Consultative Expert Group is made of high-level experts with a diverse set of experiences and backgrounds, such as the insurance industry, academia, consumer associations, and stakeholder organisations. It is expected to finalise its work within 12 months, starting in March 2025.
