Usually, projects contain a lot of risk elements. The level depends on the amount of innovation involved. Risk areas in all projects are on the contractual, scheduled and financial side. In R&D projects, additional risks could be in the field of the particular science and technology involved. It is a fundamental responsibility of research managers, administrators, scientists and engineers to apply the tools of risk management and to identify, analyse, mitigate and control potential or actual risks of any national or international project.

The following topics will be covered:
• Definition of risk management
• Project risks: Technology, schedule, cost, contract etc.
• Risk identification: Potential, actual
• Risk analysis: Impact, quantification of damage
• Risk classification: Low, medium, high
• Risk mitigation procedures
• Risk protection: Margins, insurances etc.
• Risk monitoring and control: Risk owner, risk status control, risk assessment, project results versus risk.

The aim of the workshop is to provide the necessary knowledge and skills of risk management in order to achieve the project goal as efficiently as possible.

It is designed for research managers and administrators, scientists, engineers, technical and administrative staff involved in projects and limited to 12 participants in order to ensure a high quality standard.
