Our mission is to facilitate a dialog between governmental, academic and scientific sectors with a focus on promoting multi- and interdisciplinary, collaborative activities that help building up high quality educational and training opportunities, taking advantage of experiences and expertise in the fields of risk analysis, risk management, and risk communication.

The major goal of this I RM-SRA-LA meeting is to join the expertise of specialists in all risk-related disciplines to help understanding the risks that affect our communities, including environment-related hazards, technological risks, physicochemical and biological threats, nanoparticles, socioeconomics-derived risks, and the potential and real damage capacity of natural threats. Thus, I RM-SRA-LA convokes experts in prevention, assessment, education, mitigation, communication and management of these risks.
