Overview

RSAC brings together experts across disciplines to explore cutting-edge research and solutions for managing global and emerging risks.

The Imperial Business School and School of Economics and Management (SEM), Tsinghua University, is proud to present the 2026 Risk Sciences Annual Conference!

As the complexity of global risks continues to accelerate, from climate and environmental challenges to financial instability, technological disruption, and geopolitical uncertainty, the need for rigorous, interdisciplinary approaches to risk analysis has never been greater. RSAC brings together leading academics, industry leaders, market participants, and policymakers to explore cutting-edge research and practical innovations in risk modelling, measurement, and management.

This event fosters dialogue across disciplines including economics, finance, computer science, engineering, life sciences, mathematics, and statistics. Presentations and discussions will delve into how emerging analytical tools, new data sources, and evolving theoretical frameworks can shape better decision-making in a world characterised by uncertainty and rapid change.

Key themes will include:

• Advances in risk modelling across domains
• Novel de-risking solutions for resilience and adaptation
• AI-related risks and opportunities
• Supply chain risk management and energy security
• Nature-related financial risks and systemic vulnerabilities
• Policy and regulatory frameworks for emerging and compounding risks

The conference is jointly organised by Imperial Business School and the School of Economics and Management (SEM), Tsinghua University.

Spaces are limited.
