The Laboratory aims at:
The development of applied interdisciplinary research to define, evaluate and measure risks faced by society, as well as to study the instruments available to meet these risks – through private, collective or state action.
Τhe dissemination and certification of professional training, for example through distance learning in English or Greek.
The provision of information to practitioners, professionals or public opinion – for example through websites providing access to international sources. The Laboratory will serve risk management experts, professionals in relevant sectors as well as a conduit towards best practice and know-how.
The collaboration with research centres and academic institutions in Greece and abroad, with other private or public institutions in related fields.
The organization of lectures, summer schools, seminars, symposia, conferences and other events; the publication of results; personnel exchanges involving Greek or foreign experts.
The provision of services to private individuals or firms, as provided for in legislation.
The production of printed or electronic media.
In assuming the management of the Laboratory, I hope to advance the vision set out by its first director, Professor Milton Nektarios.
