In establishing the interdisciplinary Risk Center ETH Zurich places itself among the leading proponents of Integrative Risk Management (IRM). In this spirit the aim of the Risk Center’s activities will be to build an integrated view of risk landscapes and develop the means to understand, assess, compare and manage these. Its research output will help societies to better manage risk portfolios and to design novel solutions and collaborative risk reduction schemes.
