Insurance and Risk Management for Universities
CURIE was founded in 1987, at the peak of the liability insurance crisis with the mandate to stabilize premium costs for all Canadian universities. It is the most specialized option available on the market offering stable, cost-effective and expansive insurance coverage and robust risk management services. CURIE wrote it’s first Policy on January 1, 1988!
Today, we offer comprehensive insurance rates 20% to 45% lower than industry, high-value risk management programs, plus essential knowledge sharing and insight.
Our philosophy is to be flexible: we want to work with you to ensure not only the best insurance coverage, but fair and just claims settlements. CURIE’s strategic management of each claim means efficient and effective processing.
As risk management is becoming more complicated and enterprise wide, CURIE offers extensive risk management education and consultation to help you access each risk associated with issues impacting today’s universities.
