The annual Actuarial Research Conference provides an opportunity for academics and practitioners from around the world to meet and discuss actuarial problems and their solutions. The 40th ARC will be held at the Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM), Mexico City, Mexico between August 11th-13th, 2005.

In Mexico, actuarial qualification is obtained solely through the university education system. Formal training in Actuarial Science began in Mexico in 1946, at the National Autonomous University (UNAM). There are now twelve universities that offer undergraduate programs in Actuarial Science.

The Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM) is a private university founded in 1946 by a group of Mexican businessmen. It is a small institution of higher education, specializing in the management and social sciences and related disciplines.

Our Actuarial Science program was the third to be established; in 1982. To date we have a total enrollment of approximately 600 students. The Actuarial Science program at ITAM is larger than all other programs of this area in Mexico, except for the one at UNAM.
