Organisation(s)/Authors: Loughborough University; Utrecht University
Description:
Co-RISK is a free paper-based ‘toolkit’ to help you better translate new science into your decision-making by co-designing (i.e. between university scientists and industrial or governmental partners) viable multi-disciplinary projects. Working together is not easy, and Co-RISK aims to accelerate the process by learning from, and building on experience. The toolkit consists of material (e.g. presentation, facilitators notes) for use in a workshop setting, facilitating project creation by multiple key actors (regulator, industrial partner, local policy group university-based scientist etc ….). Key outcomes of each workshop will be: • Jointly established list of the 10 questions of interest in the workshop’s focus area. • 2-3 draft projects frameworks (detail, but no sensitive information) to be shared by participants. • Raised awareness of other actors’ needs and motivations. A full description and evaluation example is giving in the journal article (https://gc.copernicus.org/articles/7/35/2024/). This was on the subject of ‘UK co-occurring natural hazard insurance risks’, but it is applicable to other countries and sectors.
Technical Considerations:
Very few. This is an open access, free ‘toolkit’ consisting of the Powerpoint slides and guidance notes to run a workshop. The ‘Maps’ to be filled in either need to be printed out, or the Powerpoint/pdf versions might be edited by an online tool of choice.
