When, on October 02, 2006, about 25 professionals from EU industry, academia and research organizations met in Stuttgart, on the premises of the at the time newly incorporated European Virtual Institute for Integrated Risk Management (EU-VRi, www.eu-vri.eu), three issues were shaping their brainstorming meeting: "New Technologies", "Emerging risks" and "Integration". It was clear that there were significant R&D needs in this area. The results of the brainstorming was the project iNTeg-Risk (Early Recognition, Monitoring, and Integrated Management of Emerging, New Technology related, Risks).
The Conference provides a forum at which partners involved in the EU "flagship project" iNTeg-Risk discuss openly and thoroughly the results obtained in the project.
In 2011, the Conference focused on the issues dealing with risk-risk tradeoffs, multiple and interconnected emerging risks of New Technologies and the presentation of the current iNTeg-Risk results: iNTeg-Risk early warning system RiskEars, emerging risk mapping, emerging risk management framework, emerging risk communication, methods and tools for emerging risk Analysis.
