The course introduces and transfers knowledge on emerging risks and
management of emerging risks. The risks considered as "emerging" are
primarily the risks previously not recognized as such, e.g. the risks
due to new processes, new technologies, new ways of working or risks due
to social or organizational changes (the risks linked to
nanotechnologies, bio-technology, new chemicals, outsourcing,
globalization are practical examples tackled within the course). The
risks due to the change in public perception or new scientific knowledge
are considered as well.
