2nd iNTeg-Risk Conference 2010: New Technologies & Emerging Risk

Main purpose of the conference is provide a forum at which the topics relevant for the EU "flagship project" iNTeg-Risk (“Early Recognition, Monitoring and Integrated Management of Emerging, New Technology Related, Risks”, www.integrisk.eu-vri.eu), involving a budget of almost 20 million €, more than 80 leading European companies and more than 400 professionals working on the project directly, can be openly and thoroughly discussed among all interested parties. It is, therefore, a unique opportunity for project partners to communicate their results to the “outside world” and an opportunity to interested professionals, not participating in the project, to learn “from one hand” about the project. Hence, all professionals working in the areas of risk/safety related emerging, communication, legislation and policy making are encouraged to contribute.

This year the conference will be focused but not limited onto the issues related to dealing with multiple and interconnected emerging risks of New Technologies. The conferences will be accompanied (see the program at www.integrisk.eu-vri.eu/filedown.aspx?file=2411) by 10 specialized workshop and courses devoted to major topics dealt with in iNTeg-Risk, by an exhibition and series of project meetings.

High-level representatives from government, regulatory and standardization bodies, EU and EU agencies, industry, press and other organizations will participate, too, and this will provide a unique opportunity to meet and exchange experiences among different stakeholders groups
