Risk – Measure, Communicate, Mitigate

22nd February 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 8:30 pm

An evening devoted to the Science and Psychology of Risk Management.

Is risk measurable? How much risk is acceptable to us in business practice and private life?  How can different risk scenarios be communicated? What is the role of legislators and regulators in risk mitigation? What are the consequences of bad risk management?

The CETC welcomes a panel of academics and business practitioners to discuss various aspects of risk management in industry, the public sector and cutting edge risk science.
