Society for Risk Analysis - Europe
9th
Annual Conference
Risk Analysis:
Facing the New Millennium
Rotterdam – The
Netherlands
October 10 – 13, 1999
| Conference
Theme At the Annual Conference the new millennium is near by. The time has come to make up the balance with respect to where we stand with risk analysis. New risks appear and find their way to the political agendas. Known risks were thought to be covered, but tend to be problematic issues still. Knowledge on risks and risk-related issues is, however, available in the heads of risk analysts and others in liased disciplines. Risk analysis is an established tool, with long experience in the traditional areas of technological risks, including non-technical issues such as risk perception, risk communication and decision making under uncertainty. At conferences and in journals dealing with risk issues less attention is given to these traditional areas and the new areas appear on the scene. This is, of course, a positive and encouraging development showing the vividness of risk analysis as a scientific discipline. But do we know it all? Are there no challenges anymore? How do we communicate the existing body of knowledge to those who joined the analysis world later? Are we fully equipped to deal with the issue of integral safety of complex systems and decision making regarding the risks associated with large infrastructures in society (high speed train links, computer networking, and the like). Risk management is a keyword, which needs a broader focus. The Society for Risk Analysis should act as the platform for the education permanent for everyone who is part of the risk arena. Fundamental issues and practical problems are now presented at the SRA Annual Conferences and Meetings in Europe, the United States and Japan, and reported in both scientific journals: Risk Analysis and Journal of Risk Research. Other areas gain more attention: health risks, food risks, consumer risks, mental risks. In particular, the more hidden long term effects require dedicated policies and solutions. The same is true for "old" risks such as those due to natural hazards creating epidemic diseases. Multidisciplinary approaches are required to bring people together to enhance cross fertilisation of we all have learned in each discipline. Are the "classical paradigms" still valid for treating the risks in these new areas? Can we optimise the dialogue between the traditional and new areas? Which extra dimensions play a role? |
| Conference
Profile The conference will address all major risk issues. SRA Europe believes that learning from the past is a strong requirement for addressing risk issues in the new forthcoming century. We introduce a real risk by neglecting existing knowledge in upcoming areas of interest. The 1998 Annual Conference in Paris opened the process, the 1999 Annual Conference must continue this mission and must create a platform for an permanent lessons in risk analysis. Contributions are invited in the various disciplines that encompass all traditional risk areas (technical risk, risk perception, risk communication), the integral approach to risk issues (risk management), new areas (multidisciplinary achievements in risk) and education in risk analysis. |

| The
Society for Risk Analysis – Europe SRA is an interdisciplinary professional society concerned by every dimension of risk analysis : Risk assessment, Risk management, Risk communication. It brings together all individuals and organisations concerned with risk analysis, risk problem solving, and risk regulation in Europe. Its membership is multidisciplinary and comprises engineering risk and safety analysts, biologists, chemists, toxicologists, health scientists, social scientists and risk regulators, policy formulators and industrialists. It provides a platform for academics, industry and policy makers to discuss both the state of the art and future directions in the expanding and multidisciplinary study of Risk Analysis. The European section (SRA-E) provides emphasis on the European dimension in promoting advancement of research, education in risk analysis, and multidisciplinary research. It is represented in 25 European countries, including countries of the former USSR. The European section conferences, publications and informal networks support its activities. Previous conferences organised by the Society have been held in Paris (1991, 1998), Stockholm (1997), Guildford (1996), Stuttgart (1995), Rome (1993), and Vienna (1988, 1990). The Journal of Risk Research was launched in 1997, in liaison with the Japanese section, as the official journal of SRA-Europe. |
