The United States of America

The United States of America is the fourth largest country in the world (after Russia, Canada, and China). It extends across North America from the Atlantic Ocean on the east to the Pacific Ocean on the west. The United States is made up of 50 states and the District of Columbia. Forty-eight of the states lie between Canada on the north and Mexico and the Gulf of Mexico on the south. The 49th state, Alaska, lies northwest of Canada. The 50th state, Hawaii, is a group of islands in the Pacific Ocean.

With our partners in the US, we aim to deepen our understanding of the world and ourselves, generating important new knowledge about local history and culture, and facilitates breakthrough discoveries in science and technology.

Interdisciplinary Streams

The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI) provides an alternative ecosystem that spurs problem-solving, civic leadership, and social innovation. We aim to integrate researchers, community leaders, and civic hackers in collaborative projects and long-term partnerships that enable inclusion, sustainability, and equity.

Connecting dots across all levels and branches of the local and global governance, we keep the public informed and empowered to shape other actors’ approaches based on principles of transparency, accountability, and good governance.

Open Data

We integrate open data into policy stages by providing decision-makers with the required team, techniques, and tools. Our Open Data initiative involves multi-stakeholder participation, global discovery design, and real-time risk analysis. We work through various activities from workshops, hackathons, and an on-going series of seminars and webinars to co-design prototype solutions.

Mechanism design

We improve access to R&D opportunities for social impact, especially for marginalized and developing communities. Governments and institutions leverage GCRI’s network to design evaluation frameworks and allocation policies for better, simpler, and faster alternatives. Through integrated and optimized mechanism designs, we significantly improve social welfare and quality of life. Our approach is collaborative and requires a deep understanding of critical topics with appropriate cultural awareness to formulate optimal strategies for efficient, fair, and sustainable solutions.
