The SRA-Europe 2012 Conference will be held at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, 18 – 20 June. The special theme of this conference will be “Risk and Society: Decisions & Responsibilities”, to reflect the fact that the analysis of risk is inextricably linked to the social context.

The SRA-Europe Conference 2012 is open to all interested researchers and experts in the various field of risk analysis. Participants from industry are welcome.

The conference promises to become a very interesting event. In response to our call for papers, more than 180 individual abstracts and 14 symposia abstracts were submitted. The review process is underway.

The conference will start on Sunday evening 17th June with an opening reception and will continue until the early afternoon of Wednesday 20th June.

The welcome reception takes place at the restaurant Rigiblick on Sunday, 17th June 2012 from 6 pm to 8 pm. Attending this event will give you the opportunity to get to know the other conference participants, have a glass of wine and enjoy the beautiful view over the city and the lake of Zurich. With a bit of luck, the weather will even allow you to see a glimpse of the Alps from the restaurant’s terrace (www.restaurantrigiblick.ch/?lang=en).

Each conference day will open up with a plenary session with keynote presentations and discussions, followed by parallel sessions including oral papers, poster presentation sessions and symposia reflecting particular themes of interest. A special drinks and buffet poster session is planned on Monday evening.

A conference dinner will take place on Tuesday evening. The conference dinner will be held at the beautiful Acqua restaurant on the shore of Lake Zurich on Tuesday, 19th June 2012 at seven o’clock in the evening. The Acqua restaurant offers an impressive view of the city, the lake and the Swiss Alps. The guests can enjoy their culinary treats while watching sail boats float past. The restaurant offers a creative, fresh and light cuisine with an Italian touch. Fine wines compliment the culinary experience at the Acqua lakeside restaurant. The Acqua restaurant is literally located on the lake, resting on 64 piles. The warm interior with leather, nacre and wood is complimented by a stylish garden directly on the lake.
