ISJ - Overseas Seminar

Around the end of 1992, the subject of "Promotion of International Exchange" was tabled for discussion at the Association and it was resolved to launch another ISJ course, entitled the "ISJ-Overseas Seminar", to be held locally in the East Asian regions.

It was started in 1993 with the aim of providing information on subjects that the regional insurance markets are interested in acquiring from the Japanese market. One or two places are selected in the regions each year as venues for the seminars and they are organised with the help of each regional non-life insurance association.

The topics of seminars are chosen according to the needs of the regional markets in collaboration with local co-sponsors. Staff members of insurance companies with expertise in these areas and the institute's staff are sent from Japan as lecturers and coordinators.

From its inception in 1993 to its 18th session in 2011, 3,620 participants had attended the seminars.
