In this series of seminars, invited speakers discuss various topics in the area of risk modelling, governance of complex socio-economic systems, managing risks and crises, and building resilience. Students, PhD students, post-docs, faculty and individuals outside ETH are welcome.
Learning objective
Participants gain insights in a broad range of risk- and resilience-related topics. They expand their knowledge of the field and deepen their understanding of the complexity of our social, economic and engineered systems. For young researchers in particular, the seminars offer an opportunity to learn academic presentation skills and to network with an interdisciplinary scientific audience.
Content
Academic presentations from ETH faculty as well as external researchers. Each seminar is followed by a Q&A session and (when permitted) a networking Apéro.
Lecture notes
The sessions are recorded whenever possible and posted on the ETH Risk Center webpage. If available, presentation slides are shared as well.
Literature
Each speaker will provide a literature review.
Prerequisites / Notice
