Bristol Environmental Risk Research Centre (BRISK) was established by the University in 2009. Its aim is to coordinate, promote and advance interdisciplinary research across the natural, engineering and social sciences in environmental hazard risk assessment and uncertainty science. BRISK provides quantitative risk assessment for environmental hazards, focusing on the needs of decision-makers, but informed to the fullest extent possible by the underlying science, and by formal methods for uncertainty assessment. BRISK operates as a virtual centre, facilitating interaction and knowledge-transfer by linking scientists across disciplines, and linking scientists with decision-makers. A core part of its activity is to develop cross-disciplinary skills in the next generation of researchers, through training and collaborations.
