08Questions
Questions, answers and key terms
Is study here free?
Yes. Every course and learning material of Risk Academy, led by the Nexus Consortium, is free to study, self-paced or with a cohort. Ordinary participation has no fee; paid work, internships and fellowships are separate arrangements.
What does completing a course give me?
A completion record: the course, its version, the date and what was assessed, private by default and shared by you. It stacks into discipline, department and programme achievements. A record states what was studied and assessed and does not certify competence; it is not a licence, a professional title or an employment status.
Where do the data and the places come from?
Every faculty teaches on a twin of a real place built from open data; each layer carries its provider, licence and date, and every result on the Academy states its source. Maps and figures are indicators for teaching, never an assessment of a place.
How do I take part beyond the department's courses?
Form a competence cell of three to seven people, study a shared pathway, take a supervised assignment in the National Working Groups, or bring a cohort from your institution. For organisations.
Key terms

Trade, supply chains and geoeconomics
This area covers the networks through which goods and strategic inputs move, supplier concentration, chokepoints, geoeconomic fragmentation and sanctions, and how shocks propagate along supply chains.
Term
Advanced industry, manufacturing and materials
This area covers production systems, industrial process safety, industrial cyber resilience, advanced materials and the resilience of manufacturing to shocks in inputs, energy, labour and technology.
