Events and programme sessions
This page lists events and programme sessions of The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) only when they are scheduled and approved, with a date, an accountable organizer and a confirmed host. Nothing is shown in advance as confirmed. Annual convening and the Nexus Universe programme are governed by The Global Risks Forum (GRF), and its events and dialogue calendar is the place for those sessions. Until a GCRI event meets the listing rules below, this page lists none.

The short answer.
GCRI events and programme sessions are listed only when scheduled and approved, with a date, an accountable organizer and a confirmed host, and nothing is shown in advance as confirmed. Annual convening and Nexus Universe sessions are governed by GRF and appear on its calendar; registration opens only when an event can be run properly.

Hazards and exposure in World.
For events and programme sessions, in GCRI's spatial-intelligence reading, the map opens on flood water, active fires, population density and true-colour imagery, framed on World; every other NASA layer, live feed and forecast waits in the layer list.
The interactive map needs JavaScript; the layer list and sources are below.

What an event needs before it appears here.
An event is listed only when every item below is on record. Without them, a plan stays a plan and is not presented as a session.
- A confirmed date, time zone and format
- An accountable GCRI organizer and the organization that acts, GCRI Canada or GCRI US
- Host authority and readiness evidenced, where a venue or host is involved
- A stated audience, purpose and agenda owner
- Accessibility arrangements and the registration route, if registration is open
- A privacy note for any personal data collected
The sessions GCRI is designed to hold.

Supervised learning sessions
Sessions for experts, students and volunteers, linked to academy and learning.
Terms used on this page.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Chatham House Rule | A rule under which participants may use information received but may not reveal the identity or affiliation of speakers. |
| Code of conduct | A written set of standards for how members, staff or participants behave, with a route for complaints and a stated process for handling them. |
| Service level R0 | The current service level of Nexus pages: information and enquiries only. An enquiry receives a reference and a named next step; it creates no membership, contract, assignment or commitment. |
Event registration opens only when it can be run properly.
The current service level is R0, information and enquiries. Event registration opens only when its team, terms and review capacity are in place. Until then, interest in a session can be sent to the Secretariat, and the acknowledgement gives a reference and names the next step.
A listed session is not an endorsement of any participant, and attendance confers no membership, appointment or status.
