The International Risk Governance Center (IRGC@EPFL) is a transdisciplinary centre at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne that works on improving the governance of risk issues marked by complexity, uncertainty and ambiguity. As a neutral platform for dialogue about emerging risks as well as opportunities and risks related to new technologies, IRGC works to improve the understanding and management of risks and opportunities by providing insight into emerging and systemic risks that have impacts on human health and safety, the environment, the economy, and society at large.
