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 will accelerate the process for you by learning from and building on experience. It’s the way an experienced, knowledgeable group would do it if they were doing it again, instead of using a more ad hoc approach and relying on long-established trusting relationship to create success. 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 appliable to other countries and sectors. Joint endeavours enabled by Co-RISK could fulfil the genuine need to quickly convert the latest insights from environmental research into real-world climate change adaptation strategies.
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.
