Why is this theme important?

The widening circle of stakeholders and the questioning of the notion of risk acceptability are two major developments that are shedding new light on the question of how to ‘live together’ in the neighborhood of high-risk activities.

The aim of this program is to open up the ‘black box’ of the negotiation and arbitration processes that industrial risk is subject to, in order to explore new ways to manage high-risk activities and discover new modes of governance.
