Nexus Campaigns, a platform of The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI), is designed to accept campaign proposals from educators, civic groups, researchers, community partners and programme teams. This page explains how a proposal is reviewed and who carries responsibility once a campaign is approved. The proposal service opens when its review team, terms and safeguards are in place; until then, you can discuss an idea by enquiry. The current service level is R0: information and enquiries.

Organizing a campaign with Nexus Campaigns starts with a proposal from an educator, civic group, researcher, community partner or programme team, reviewed before approval and then carried by a named responsible manager. The proposal service opens when its review team, terms and safeguards are in place; until then ideas are discussed by enquiry.
