Lab work that becomes open teaching.
The lab network connects university and institute laboratories with Risk Academy. A lab contributes modules, datasets, challenges and supervision; the Academy publishes them in its courses with the lab named as author. Everything is released openly, cited properly and reviewed before it reaches a learner.

From a lab's work to an Academy lesson, in four steps.
The route is the same for every lab and every contribution, so learners can trust what they read and labs know what is asked of them.
- 01
A lab applies
A laboratory or research group applies to join a lab programme, stating what it can contribute and confirming it can release material openly.

The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. No form creates an agreement, a fee or a commitment by any party.
Where lab work goes next.
Lab outputs travel to the Academy, follow the Standards and can feed the Index.
- Risk AcademyCourses and pathwaysContributed modules are published on Risk Academy, the estate's learning platform, inside its faculties and course catalogue.
- Nexus StandardsOpen standardsCitation (NS-2), identifiers (NS-1, NS-16) and dataset metadata (NS-3b) that lab outputs follow, and the risk standards a module teaches.
- The IndexThe Global Risks Index (NXS-GRX)Open country and place risk evidence. Lab datasets and methods can be proposed as sources through the Index's own contribution forms.

Contribute evidence from this page.
Reports is the Consortium's quarterly publication. What you know about this subject can become evidence, a case or a correction in the next edition, credited to you and published under CC BY 4.0 where it is your own work.

Never send personal data, sensitive infrastructure detail or anything you have no right to share. A contribution is reviewed before use; sending it confers no authorship or editorial rights, and sponsorship never buys a finding.
