Assignments and missions
Agency is the platform of The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) for competence-based technical assistance and expert matching under explicit terms and mandates. This page lists assignments and missions only when each one is approved and documented: a named host mandate, a written scope, the competence it needs and the person who supervises it. No assignment is shown until its record exists. Information and enquiries are open today.

An assignment is listed only with a complete record.
Each entry is designed to carry the facts a candidate needs to judge fit and a host needs to stand behind the request. An entry missing any of them is not published.
Host and authority
The institution asking for the work, the mandate under which it asks and the organisation that will contract, if anyone does.
Work and deliverables
The question, the deliverables, the term, the location or remote arrangement, and what the assignment does not include.
Who can do it
The fields, methods and level of experience required, and whether the role is voluntary, paid or a supervised learning placement.
No open assignment is listed yet.
Assignments open through the same service ladder as every Consortium service. Today this page explains how assignments will work; candidates can register their interest by writing to the expert application form. The acknowledgement gives a reference and names the next step.
- An enquiry is not an application, and an application is not an appointment.
- Applications open at service level R2, with current terms and an appeal route.
- An assignment begins only when a written agreement names the correct parties and scope.
From a host request to a closed record.
- 01
Request
A host describes the need. The request is scoped against the technical assistance types and boundaries.
- 02
Approval
The responsible programme team checks mandate, scope, safeguarding and resources before the assignment is published.
- 03
Matching
Candidates are compared on documented competence, as set out under skills and review, and declare conflicts before selection.
- 04
Engagement
The contracting organisation issues written terms. Supervision and reporting lines are named before work starts.
- 05
Closeout
Deliverables are reviewed, a contribution record is kept and the listing is marked closed rather than deleted.
What an assignment never is.
An assignment is bounded technical work. It is not employment by GCRI unless a written contract says so, it confers no authority to procure, finance or decide on a host’s behalf, and a learning placement is never a professional licence or a promise of employment.
Interdisciplinary missions with several specialists are described under interdisciplinary teams.

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.
