Enterprise & Risk Forum
The Risk Forum was established in 2004 at the London School of Economics

provide a transdisciplinary community of interest in “risk”.
Now it is operating as an independent organisation, still based in
London and in fact still working with academics at LSE.

The Society for Risk Analysis
and Society for
Risk Analysis Europe are multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary,
scholarly, international societies which provide an open forum for
all those who are interested in risk analysis. Risk analysis is broadly
defined to include risk assessment, risk characterisation, risk communications,
risk management, and policy relating to risk, in the context of risks
of concern to individuals, to public and private sector organisations,
and to society at a local, regional, national, or global level.

The research network of the Sociology
of Risk and Uncertainty (SoRU) as part of the European
Sociological Association (ESA) was recently founded in order to
support and trigger theoretical and empirical developments in (trans-)
national research on risk and uncertainty. The research network goes
beyond the traditional approaches on risk perception, risk communication
and sociology of catastrophes with a societal perspective referring
to sociological traditions of cultural theory (Douglas, Tulloch/Lupton),
risk society and reflexive modernization (Beck, Giddens), governmentality
(Foucault, Ewald), systems theory (Luhmann, Japp) and edgework (Lyng).

The Society for the Advancement of
Socio-Economics (SASE) is an international, inter-disciplinary
organisation with members in over 50 countries on five continents.
As an emerging meta-discipline, socio-economics begins with the assumption
that economics is not a self-contained system, but is embedded in
society, polity, and culture.
Socio-economics further assumes that individual choices are shaped
by values, emotions, social bonds, and moral judgments rather than
by narrow self-interest. There is no prior assumption that people
act rationally or that they only pursue self-interest or pleasure.

problems and influencing the society in that regard.
