For organisations

Risk Academy, led by the Nexus Consortium, is a learning-by-doing environment for the study of risk. Its courses and learning materials are free, and they are organised in faculties, departments and disciplines that span the full range of risk, from the Earth system and natural hazards to infrastructure, health, finance, technology and governance. Learners work on live models, open data and digital twins of real places, and every result states its source and date.

The Academy is designed to work with higher-education institutions, research laboratories, public institutions and communities to deliver risk education and risk literacy in every format: self-paced courses, cohort study, labs, field exercises and open lessons. Institutions are named as partners only once a cooperation is in place.

Executive is a format, not a study level. Executive briefings and programmes are in development.

• Cohort completion and activity in aggregate, as counts only.
• Individual completion records only where the learner opts in, and the learner may withdraw.
• No leaderboards unless the cohort chooses one.
• Learners keep their records when they leave the organisation.
