The aim of the Paris Risk Group annual workshops is to foster the use of social sciences in government agencies with responsibility for risk assessment and the consideration of social science evidence to inform risk management. The workshops help to share and extend knowledge, experiences and best practices in areas of common interest and to strengthen an international network of social scientists working in risk agencies.
