On behalf of the Nanyang Technological University (NTU), welcome to the website of the NTU’s Institute of Catastrophe Risk Management (ICRM)!

ICRM was launched in January 2010 by Mr Heng Swee Kiat, Managing Director of the Monetary Authority of Singapore, Mr Derrick Teo, President of the General Insurance Association of Singapore, and Dr Su Guaning, President of NTU. ICRM’s vision is to be Asia’s leading research institute in catastrophe risk.
