Integrative Risk Management
Switzerland and Zurich can look back on a successful tradition in the evaluation of risk, with active collaboration with ETH Zurich researchers playing a key role.
Currently, over 20 professors at ETH Zurich are working on different aspects of risk research. Expertise at ETH Zurich is coordinated in a cross-departmental way via various risk clusters. In order to further develop competences in the area of cross-disciplinary risk assessment, ETH Zurich has launched an initiative to drive integrative risk management.
