King's College, London, UK, will host the 19th SRA-Europe Annual Meeting 21-23 June 2010.
The 2010 SRA-Europe Annual Meeting aims to facilitate interaction among all actors in the field of risk: academics from across the disciplines, policy makers, the private sector, NGOs and other interest groups.
The special theme of the conference will be ‘Risk, Governance & Accountability’. This theme reflects the increasing centrality of risk analysis to decision-making in a wide range of policy and organisational contexts and the increasing demands by the public for decision-makers to account for outcomes.
Each conference day will open with a plenary session with keynote presentations, followed by parallel sessions of oral papers, round-table discussions and symposia reflecting particular themes of interest.
Presentations are welcomed on topics that span across the range of SRA themes, new fields of risk-related research, as well as the special conference theme of ‘Risk, Governance & Accountability’.
Confirmed keynote speakers so far include:
- Baruch Fischhoff, Carnegie Mellon University
- Ethel Forsberg Director General, Swedish Chemicals Agency
- Alan Irwin, Copenhagen Business School
- Geoffrey Podger Director General, Health and Safety Executive
- Michael Power, London School of Economics
- Tim Smith Chief Executive, Food Standards Agency
- Kip Viscusi, Vanderbilt University
