Building robust, integrative inter-disciplinary governance models for emerging and existing risks

FP6 Co-ordination Action on Integrative Approaches to Risk Governance

Project Duration: 1 July 2006 – 30 June 2009

Project Outline

This project developed an integrative risk governance model choosing:

• an open project architecture rather than using a specific risk governance model;
• a policy learning approach as the central mode of operation, allowing for integrating input across different science fields, across different geographical boundaries, and across the science-policy interface;
• cases related to complex, ambiguous risk fields where the agreement of risk governance approaches is limited, or related to new, emerging risks.
