About Us
The Risk Society and Policy Research Center (RSPRC) is an integrated platform for transdisciplinary sharing of ideas, knowledge and practical actions. Going beyond established boundaries among academics, practitioners and policymakers, we intend to conduct extensive but in-depth discussions of important risk issues and raise social awareness.
In the face of climate change, air pollution, energy transition and other emerging risks, the general public have the right to know the formation of various risks and their impacts, which will provide the basis for effective public engagement in relevant policymaking, implementation and assessment.
What We Do
Aiming at the promotion of knowledge society, we concentrate on facilitating in-depth understandings of various contemporary social transformation processes and relevant policy issues. In bridging different academic disciplines and social sectors, we hope to provide policy discourses and advices from a long-term viewpoint, and encourage comprehensive social innovation.
