Institutional relationships

The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) names a collaboration only with a current record and permission to publish it. A visit, a meeting or an exchange of letters does not make an institution a partner. A logo is not a record. The relationships that structure the programme, and the terms for taking part, are below. Part of About GCRI.

How the three pillar institutions divide their work is set out on GCRI, GRF and GRA.

03Conditions

How other institutions take part.

Governments, UN entities, development banks, universities, operators and civil society organisations take part through defined routes. Each route has a scope, a first outcome and a boundary.

  • UN entities and public agencies use their own authorised instruments; participation creates no UN endorsement.
  • Universities and research institutes take part under a research protocol with rights terms and a publication route.
  • Operators and enterprises take part under an authorised information scope; membership never permits production access.
  • Financial institutions take part through the readiness interface led by GRA; no lending or underwriting is promised.

05Endorsement

No implied partnership.

Audiences

Not partners by default

UN agencies, banks, universities and regulators are audiences of GCRI’s work, not partners, unless a current permission record says otherwise.

Statuses

Not relationships

GCRI’s statuses in international bodies are listed on Affiliations and credentials. They are not collaborations with those bodies.

Names

Used with permission

A named collaboration appears here only with its scope, its dates and permission to publish.

06Propose

Propose a collaboration.

Write to the partnership form with the purpose, the scope and the institutions involved. The acknowledgement gives a reference and names the next step. A proposal creates no relationship until the correct parties agree terms. See Public accountability and the institutional networks of The Global Risks Forum.

07Questions

Questions and answers.

Why are no partners listed?
A collaboration is named only with a current record and permission to publish. Until then, routes and conditions are described instead.
Is the technology developer and infrastructure operator part of GCRI?
No. It is the intended technology licensor of the Foundry code to GCRI Canada, and has no role in programme decisions.
Can my institution say it works with GCRI?
Only within the scope and wording of an agreed record. Please do not use GCRI’s name or statuses to suggest endorsement.

Information and enquiries are open today. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
