Establishment of a Nordic chapter
SRA-E: NORDIC is a newly established regional chapter of the Society for Risk Analysis Europe. The Nordic chapter of SRA Europe is meant to be a node for networking between risk researchers and between risk research and policy makers and other decision makers in the Nordic and the Baltic countries.
The Nordic chapter shares the aim with SRA Europe which is “to bring together individuals and organisations interested in risk assessment, risk management and risk communication in Europe”. More specifically the SRA-E: NORDIC will promote risk research and knowledge and understanding of risk analysis techniques. This can be to identify and address specifically Nordic and Baltic issues in the field of risk, to promote debate, and facilitate exchanges of information and opinion between professionals in industry, government, universities, research institutes, and consultancies. It has the ambition to convene and promote scientific and educational meetings on risk research, risk analysis and risk management in the Nordic and Baltic countries.
The Nordic Chapter welcomes a broad range of risk research from different disciplines. The statutes of SRA-E: NORDIC are available HERE.

Call for abstracts to the 3rd Nordic Chapter Risk Conference
The third Nordic Chapter Risk Conference will be held in November 2-3, 2017 at Aalto University, Helsinki, Finland.
The Nordic Chapter of the Society for Risk Analysis Europe (SRA Europe) invites abstracts to the 3rd conference which will be held at Aalto University, Espoo, Finland, November 2-3, 2017. The University can be reached from Helsinki by bus (20 minutes). Please submit your abstract by September 15th, 2017.
The theme of the conference “Risk and Security” highlights the role risk plays in relation to security. Security concerns and related risk issues are today in the heart of organizations, governments and international institutions. There are however, no simple ways to deal with these concerns and issues and conventional risk assessment methods are challenged by the need for new concepts and tools to properly handle security risks.
