Organise a campaign

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. Information and enquiries are open today.

02The proposal

What a proposal is designed to contain.

  • the public-interest aim and the question the campaign answers;
  • the evidence behind the messages and the people who reviewed it;
  • the intended audiences and how they were understood;
  • the proposed campaign manager and the organisation they act for;
  • funding sources, in full, and any interests of the proposers;
  • the permissions needed for content, data and participation;
  • the measures of success and the planned closing date.
03Review

How a proposal is reviewed.

  1. 01

    Eligibility

    Is the aim in the public interest, and within the platform’s themes and boundaries?

  2. 02

    Evidence

    Do the messages rest on sources a specialist reviewer accepts, with uncertainty stated?

  3. 03

    Safeguards

    Are consent, privacy, accessibility and safeguarding adequate for the audiences?

  4. 04

    Decision

    Approve, ask for changes or decline, with reasons recorded and shared with the proposer.

A reviewer with a conflict of interest in a proposal takes no part in its decision. A declined proposer can ask for the decision to be looked at again by someone who did not take it.

Who answers for an approved campaign.

05Start now

Discuss an idea before the service opens.

Write to the contact form with a short outline. The acknowledgement gives a reference and names the next step. An enquiry is not a proposal, and a proposal is not an approval. For media questions, use the media enquiry form.

06Questions

Questions and answers.

Does it cost anything to propose a campaign?
No fee applies to an enquiry or a proposal. Any costs of running a campaign are set out in its own terms.
Can a company propose a campaign?
A proposal is judged on its public-interest aim and evidence. Commercial promotion is outside scope, and all funding must be disclosed.
Can GCRI’s name or logo appear on my campaign?
Only as set out in the approved record. Approval implies no endorsement beyond publication on this platform.
How long does review take?
Review time depends on the proposal and the audiences. The acknowledgement names the next step; no response time is promised.

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.
