Conferences and seminars

The conference ‘Åre Risk Event’ gathers researchers, entrepreneurs, politicians and representatives of public and voluntary organizations to exchange knowledge about risk and crisis management in our society. The programme consists of lectures and paper sessions, mixed with workshops and exchange of experiences in smaller groups. Two thirds of the participants are from non-academic organizations.

Keynote speakers have also mirrored the mix of participants. We have welcomed prominent guest speakers from Swedish and international universities as well as organizations like the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR), Doctors without borders, the Swedish Parliament and many more. 

RCR is often visited by guest researchers. On those occasions, we arrange public lectures and seminars.
