WELCOME TO SRA-EUROPE

The Society for Risk Analysis - Europe aims to bring together individuals and organisations interested in risk assessment, risk management and risk communication in Europe

The Society for Risk Analysis (SRA) was founded in response to the need for an interdisciplinary society which would address emerging issues in risk analysis, management and policy. It operates world-wide with International Sections in North America, Europe and Japan. Any member of SRA who is resident in Europe is automatically a member of SRA-Europe

The Society encourages those interested in all aspects of risk analysis to communicate, collaborate and develop new methodologies for risk analysis and risk management.SRA-E emphasises the European dimension in the promotion of interdisciplinary research and education, and in practical application in industry and Government. It provides a platform for industrialists, policy makers and academics to discuss the ‘state of the art’ and future directions in the study of risk analysis, to understand concerns about risk from both public and scientific perspectives, to promote efficient risk mitigation and to develop effective communication about hazards.

It is also an opportunity for risk analysts to come together to discuss issues, problems, goals and future research questions. New areas for risk analysis are emerging and new disciplines are contributing to the ongoing debate about risk analysis and management.The Society for Risk Analysis - Europe encourages and facilitates communication among experts in all risk domains via conferences and meetings.

 
Annual meeting 2010 in London

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
