The Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance (ANZIIF) says Swiss Re engineer Adi Mehta submitted the winning essay for this year’s Aon Scholarship.

His prize for winning the competition is either attending the 2022 Aon Global Clients Reinsurance Seminar in London or the Aon Hazards Conference in Australia, which also takes place next year. Travel is subject to availability.

The annual competition this year requires applicants to submit a 2500-word composition on climate change and its impact on industry.

“We are proud to be able to give back to industry, empowering insurance professionals with professional development opportunities,” Aon Reinsurance Solutions CEO ANZ Robert De Souza said.

“[His] award winning submission was greatly deserved and I have no doubt this will be invaluable to his career development.”
