Risk in an Interconnected World

Call for Abstracts

Our world is more interconnected than ever before. From transport and technology, to trade and the environment, increasing interconnectedness presents significant challenges to government, industry and the individual. What emergent risks are we likely to face and how can we manage them?
 
The 10th Annual Conference of the Society for Risk Analysis Australia and New Zealand (SRA-ANZ) is calling for abstracts that delve into risk and interconnectedness from the perspective of academia, government and industry.
 
We are proud to announce that this year’s conference will be held in conjunction with the Australasian Bayesian Network Modeling Society.
 
We invite abstracts for oral presentations and posters on all aspects of risk, risk analysis and risk management including the following examples:

• How are risks affected by increasing interconnectedness, and what does this mean for risk analysis and management in the future?
• What innovative methodologies are available for the monitoring and surveillance of emerging risks, both locally and internationally?
• How do we think about risk in decision-making, given the interconnected nature of social, economic and environmental tradeoffs?
• How has the use of technology changed the collection and sharing of risk-related information, and where are there opportunities for further improvement?
• How does globalization influence risk?
• What role does government play in risk management in an interconnected world?
• What role does interconnectedness play in how we understand and deal with the risks presented by climate change?
• How do governments and industry manage the risks relating to info security and cyber attacks?
• What are the applications for Bayesian networks in a risk-related setting?

 
Deadline for abstract submissions is 30 June 2017.
