ESREDA 65th Seminar "From risk imagination to safety intervention: managing risks with knowledge"
NCSR Demokritos with ESReDA’s ‘Risk, Knowledge, Management’ (RKM) project group organise the 65th ESReDA seminar to foster an exchange of ideas and expert on the intricate relationships between risk, knowledge and management, aiming to find new ideas for preventing accidents and improving safety management with better utilisation of knowledge.
Although we are told that we live and work in ‘information and knowledge’ society. Preventing accidents and enhancing resilience, by using the relevant safety knowledge and expertise, is not granted and requires continuous efforts to overcome the hurdles in an ‘age of uncertainty’. The main objective of this forthcoming seminar is to identify the enablers and barriers to the production of knowledge concerning safety risks and resilience and its effectiveness in decision-making and other management and operational activities. The key problematic question we will ask is: ‘What does a management team, a regulator or a front-line operator need to know and can use to manage risks effectively?’
The 65th ESReDA seminar will be a forum for exploring the above mentioned and other related questions. We aim to discuss theories, concepts, and experiences of enhancing the use of knowledge for better risk analysis, management and governance. Authors are invited to present their research and operational proposals and raise challenges, but also to discuss successes and failures in enhancing risk management through better use of risk knowledge. We want to encourage new ideas, scientific papers, conceptual papers, case studies and cross-sectoral and inter-disciplinary research on the theme of challenges and practices for using knowledge in risk and resilience analysis, management, and governance. This seminar will bring together researchers, practitioners, specialists and decision-makers to discuss strategies and practical experiences.
Papers for contributions to the seminar are invited to submit their abstracts until the 14th of July here. ESRA members may participate to this event free of charge as ESRA is sponsoring the seminar. You may find more details at ESREDA webpage and INRASTES webpage.
