Risk and uncertainty studies should not just be academically focused but also more crucially practically relevant. One of the goals of the Society for Risk Analysis-Europe is to ensure that the work that academics do at universities are also practically useful. This panel discussion focuses on bridging this gap with our panelists discussing real life practical examples ranging from the present day threats of disinformation and fake news to planning and hazard management and the importance of finding compromises between indigenous people and large scale infrastructure projects.
