About the Speaker

The Institute and Faculty of Actuaries’ (IFoA’s) biannual Thought Leadership Lecture will this time be delivered by Michael Sanders, Chief Scientist and Head of Research and Evaluation at the Behavioural Insights Team (BIT). His team supports BIT’s policy work through the design and analysis of randomised controlled trials, as well as the use of quasi-experimental methods and data science. The team also leads a series of trials encouraging charitable donations, volunteering, and social action.

Michael is an Associate Fellow of the Blavatnik School of Government, and an affiliate of the Harvard Behavioral Insights Group. He teaches experimental design at the University of Bristol. He holds an MSc in Economics and Public Policy, and a PhD in Economics, both from the University of Bristol.

Actuarial relevance

The global actuarial community has been discussing data science extensively. The IFoA is ideally placed to facilitate this debate, and we hope that you are able to join us online for what promises to be an interesting and insightful evening.
