Introduction This book includes terms of reference and offers an
augmented volume of relevant work initiated within the
comprehensive concept of "Knowledge Management and Risk
Governance." The latter stood for the initial title of an ad-hoc
meeting held in Ascona, Switzerland, organized by the Technological
Risk Management Unit of the Joint Research Centre of the European
Commission (JRC) and the KOVERS Centre of Excellence in Risk and
Safety Sciences of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH
Zurich. Background Risk governance, in addition to the continuous
interest of researchers, has recently attracted the attention of
policy-makers and the media and the concern of the public. New and
emerging risks in various fields and a number of risk-related
issues increased the public interest and prompted for a new
framework in dealing with risks. The Conference on Science and
Governance organized by the European Commission in October 2000 is
one of the international forums addressing this issue. Other recent
events such as the establishment of the International Risk
Governance Council outline the importance of the governance concept
in relation to that of risk management (see www.irgc.org). At the
same time noticeable progress has been made in Information
Technologies and Decision Support, passing from the process of
information PREFACE xvi to the process of knowledge. In this
context new tools and methods became available, whose application
in risk management may be beneficial.
