3. Summary Of The Proposed Work
Program For AIDA (2002 -2006)
- Support and Strengthening of Working
Parties: Working Parties are perceived
to be the core of the Association. The existing Working Parties
comparative and systematic examination of the issues with which
they deal, highly enrich this organisation. The Work Programme
sets out a detailed plan to strengthen the Working Parties, and
a mechanism for the Working Parties to obtain support and encouragement
from the Presidential Council. Ideas include: requesting that
each National Section officially designate a member for each working
party; support and encouragement for the Working Parties studies,
obtaining sponsorship to enable publication; improving publicity
given to Working Party meetings and encouraging attendance by
host Chapter members; the designation of a central co-ordinator
to support the Working Party Chairmen.
- Creation of an AIDA Scientific Research
Prize: To strengthen AIDA's academic
mission, to stimulate legal research and internationally promote
Insurance Law.
- Publishing a book paying tribute to
Prof. Antigono Donati: "Insurance
Law in the New Millennium", A "Liber Amicorum"
to promote Prof. Donati's ideals and stimulate the study of Comparative
Insurance Law to create a valuable and panoramic contemporary
Insurance Law publication.
- Creation of AIDA electronic
"World Insurance Library":
The possibility of creating an international documentation centre,
using the AIDA website. This is an ambitious project requiring
international co-operation.
- Renewal of the AIDA magazine:
In an electronic and conventional format as a tool for the promotion
of scientific knowledge and diffusion of insurance law information
on an international level.
- Publication of international insurance
legislation on the AIDA website: To
bring together and circulate insurance legislation from as many
sources as possible.
- Publication of international insurance
jurisprudence: With the National Sections'
support, to highlight the decisions in the most relevant cases
coming from Courts and Arbitration Tribunals.
- Increase AIDA Mail's content:
In both bibliographic and jurisprudence sections. Consider AIDA-Flash
sent by the Internet, to stimulate information exchange.
- Increase the services offered by AIDA's
website: To directly benefit the National
Sections and the international community interested in the study
of Insurance Law.
- Promote and publish specialized monographic
works: To promote scientific research
on issues relating to AIDA and to ensure its distribution on an
international level, including through support of Universities,
publication on AIDA's website or in AIDA magazines.
- Academic cooperation agreements to establish
an international support network: To
undertake institutional academic co-operation agreements in order
to strengthen AIDA's bonds with Universities, especially those
with Insurance Law related programmes.
- Develop closer links with the judiciary
and government agencies in charge of control and surveillance
of the insurance market: For example,
by encouraging the participation of members of the Judiciary in
seminars, colloquiums, etc and by increasing AIDA's role as a
consultative body.
- Create other regional AIDA committees:
It is suggested that AIDA should study this idea further. The
success of CILA is noted in this regard.
- Financially Strengthen AIDA through
Designation of a Financial Committee:
Whilst noting that AIDA's goals are scientific, it is acknowledged
that funding is required to enable AIDA to develop its activities.
- Programmatic and Institutional Assistance
to the National Sections: To offer support
aimed at motivating academic activity, particularly amongst those
sections which are currently inactive.
- Celebration of the Association's 45th
anniversary in April 2005: With the
aim to have concluded some of the projects set out in the Work
Program by that date.
