International Risk Governance Council - The IRGC Network

The IRGC Network

IRGC is organised as a network consisting of affiliates, partners and branches and coordinated by the IRGC Secretariat in Geneva. Thanks to the cooperation and knowledge transfer that occurs amongst network members, this structure allows IRGC to address the diversity of cultures and contexts, to maximise its impact in terms of geographic outreach, to deal with diverse audiences, and to increase its economic efficiency. Every network member is an active contributor to IRGC’s work, whether via the provision of funding, expertise and research work, or a combination of these. In return, members benefit from access to the entire network and the significant pool of knowledge and useful contacts this represents. They also have the opportunity to attend events (such as international workshops and conferences) organised within the IRGC network, and to influence the further development of IRGC’s activities.

Members include academic and scientific institutions that are active in the realm of risk governance (affiliates); governments, intergovernmental organisations and private sector companies (partners); and regional or national groupings of public, private and scientific or academic institutions working on risk governance related matters (branches).
