Advisory committee

The Center for Research on Social Risks has an advisory committee consisting of representatives that work with risk issues in society, climate adaptation and personal safety - both in academia, in business and at authorities. The role of the committee is to work broadly with quality assurance and to strengthen the relevance of the work. The group contribute with their experiences and expertise in discussions on the centre development, budget and other strategic issues.

Chair and board members are appointed for three years by the university vice-chancellor. The group congregates a number of times annually and, in addition, is invited to take part in the current discussions at the centre on an ongoing basis.
