Academic Collaborations

RISC is a research tank, where leading academic minds make discoveries around the notion of risk in its broadest interpretation. With RISC Scholars whose research expertise spans natural, social, and formal sciences, as well as engineering, business and law, we possess an unprecedented concentration of breadth and depth of knowledge in risk studies. Furthermore, since the network of RISC Scholars covers all of Africa, Australia, Eurasia, North and South America, we are a truly unique international group of thinkers with the aptitude to solve the most pressing problems of humanity, many of which are a part of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals agenda.

For-profits

R&D activities within RISC are in close and true collaboration with our numerous for-profit and non-for-profit partners and propel the Risk Management and Insurance professional community - as well as the global Economy - forward. RISC's vision, that a genuinely transformational research must be motivated by real-world challenges, together with the dedication of RISC Scholars to conducting such research, have earned us recognition, trust, and friendship of a broad group of leading players in insurance, risk management, and, more generally, in financial services.

Non-for-profits

From consulting on the soundness of policy and regulation to pioneering new - and transforming existing - professional designations and standards, RISC contributes to the creation of a safer financial ecosystem in Canada and globally for the benefit of everyone.

Who We Collaborate With

We are professional, dedicated, and act in the best interest of our partners. Our collaborators all agree that partnering with RISC on the one hand side revealed a whole new world of opportunities that only Academia can offer, and on the other hand side kept the importance of the value-added in the centre.
