The Risk Academy is one of the three pillars of GRF Davos. Thereby it forms the knowledge sharing and know-how transfer instrument. The Risk Academy initiates and facilitates the dissemination of topical knowledge and new technologies to be transferred from the world of academic science to business and society. This has to be conducted as efficiently as possible so that an impact on the scientific community and society at large is resulting, which can enhance both commercial and non-material value creation.

It is the Risk Academy’s primary focus to enable know-how transfer from science to practice as well as the general public. Disaster and risk management and climate change adaptation are lacking in applicable know-how. The Risk Academy will help close this gap by organizing various events, education (summer) courses, trainings, workshops etc.
