SRA 2008 Annual Meeting

Risk Analysis: The Science and the Art

December 7-10, 2008 — Boston, Massachusetts

Risk Analysis, including risk perception, risk assessment, risk management, and risk communication, represents an interdisciplinary field.

Representing academia, government, industry, NGOs, private firms, and themselves, SRA members recognize the value of diverse perspectives and a shared commitment to high quality risk analysis methodology and practice.
