OpenRisk II kickoff conference in Helsinki

Project: OpenRisk II
Virtual Meeting & Physical Meeting
The Kick-off conference of OpenRisk II project

Description

The Kick-off conference of the project, organised 6.-7.March 2024 hosted by the University of Helsinki, centers around gathering national, regional, EU and global end-user needs for new risk management tools under development by the project. The three tools are:

  • A Baltic adaptation of the AISyRISK tool (https://aisyrisk.no ) for shared and updated risk picture of maritime traffic in the region, and creation of a new risk assessment module on ice navigation -with potential use also beyond the Baltic, e.g. in the Arctic
  • A regional service on vulnerability of the Baltic marine ecosystem to maritime spills
  • A tool to evaluate risk management performance of the relevant administrations, and the quality of risk assessments, commissioned or produced.

These needs will shape the plans of the OpenRisk II project, to optimise the real-world utility of the output. Foreseen key participants of the event include users of risk assessments and risk management tools (end users of project output):

  • national, EU and intergovernmental maritime or other authorities
  • researchers and private sector professionals 

If you are interested in participating in the conference and want to register for it, please contact the Lead Partner: valtteri.laine@traficom.fi & mirka.laurila-pant@traficom.fi
