International Risk Assessment and Horizon Scanning Symposium 2010

The 3rd International Risk Assessment and Horizon Scanning Symposium will be held from 15 to 16 March 2010 at the Raffles City Convention Centre in Singapore.

About 300 international participants are expected for the by-invitation-only symposium, mainly from governments, think tanks and private enterprises with a strong interest in horizon scanning.

The symposium will:
(a) promote active dialogue on risk assessment and horizon scanning concepts, methods and technologies
(b) provide the opportunity for Singapore to share its Risk Assessment and Horizon Scanning or RAHS programme with an international audience
(c) encourage active collaboration in RAHS concepts, methods and technologies, through experimentation.

The theme for the symposium is “Strategic Anticipation: Developing Effective Strategies for the Future”. 25 speakers of international repute will be sharing useful approaches to emerging future challenges, with an emphasis on practical policy implications.

A technology showcase featuring state-of-the-art software tools from our commercial partners in Singapore and around the world would also be held in conjunction with IRAHSS 2010.

This event is jointly organised by the National Security Coordination Secretariat, the Defence Science and Technology Agency and the Centre of Excellence for National Security.
