In simple terms, risk is the probability of an event occurring. In statistical terms, the risk of an event occurring is simply defined as its probability. 2/9

this was really a cool opening - may be relevant also for other topics :-)

Congratulations Kaia Stødle, a great PhD thesis: "Contributions to Risk Analysis: Improving the Understanding and Characterization of Risk when Leveraging Data-Driven Predictive Modeling and Artificial Intelligence for Risk Analysis" uis.brage.unit.no/uis-xmlui/hand… Superb

Azadeh Seif defended her PhD today. Congratulations Azadeh! Great work. Great defense. Great work also by the opponents professor Kurt Petersen, Dr. Kerstin Eriksson and professor Eirik B. Abrahamsen. Here with proud supervisors, professors Terje Aven and Roger Flage, and the

yes but one also needs to learn fundamental topics ('facts' and more) to have a basis for further thinking and developments

important to also see the difference between risk science and the 'science' referred to below

and how is probability here defined and understood?

It is common to define scenario as a plausible future, but it is unfortunate in my view to link and restrict the scenario concept to plausibility in that way

How can we have a meaningful discussion about safety without talking about risk? linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

Looking back on the development of safety and risk study programs at our institution over the last 40-45 years, it’s interesting to note that most of them resulted from initiatives by external people, companies, and institutions

Navigating the labyrinth of uncertainty with the compass of risk science

this will be interesting :-)

Many scientists would probably consider nuclear energy as safe arguing that the risk related to serious consequences is very small (referring to low probabilities for such events with strong evidence/knowledge support). What is small here is however a value judgment and there is

I think many have similar experiences

this is an interesting statement. It raises many questions: - what does it mean that we can measure it? Is there a precision requirement? - say that we can measure a project risk, for example through a probability distribution for the loss/profit. Should we then take it? Not in

I’m thrilled to announce that my book, A History of Risk Science: Concepts and Principles of Risk Analysis (Routledge), is now published! Writing it over the past three years has been a rewarding journey, discussing all aspects of risk: risk fundamentals, risk assessment, risk
