chapter spotlight: PRMIA Hungary
PRMIA’s Hungary Chapter dates back to 2003 and has operated under the current setup since 2009. The chapter stepped up its activity and visibility under the leadership of the former director, Tamás Tóth, organizing 6-8 events annually. The main goal of the chapter is to bring together and develop the Hungarian risk management community to enable a platform for sharing knowledge and ideas on current risk management challenges. In its early years, the chapter focused on practical risk management issues, organizing events for the risk management professionals to discuss the effects and implementation of new regulations. Chapter members are professionals of the Hungarian banking and corporate sector, the supervisory authority, and members of the academic community. Our upcoming events cover digital finance, ESG risk management and extreme risks in operational risk management. While the chapter mainly focuses on applied risk management topics, lately our activities also incorporate academic research. We are organizing our annual research conference for the 7th time in a row this upcoming autumn, giving floor to the presentation of both theoretical and practical research results. Also, we regularly participate in organizing the regional round within PRMIA’s Risk Management Challenge competition. To strengthen our cooperation with academia, we work on awarding the PRM accreditation for the Finance Master and Finance and Accounting programs of Corvinus University of Budapest, the leading university in economics in Hungary.
