Course schedule
Venue
The first workshop will be a physical meeting and the rest will be digital meetings. The physical meeting will take place at the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering, Chalmers university of technology, Sven Hultins gata 6, Göteborg.
Further information on how to find your way to Chalmers (Campus Johenneberg)
Preparations
Before the course starts, you are asked to:
- Read the papers by Kaplan & Garrick (1981) and Aven (2010) and reflect upon how you understand the concept of risk and how it relates to your research project.
- Be prepared to discuss what risks you think are related to the system(s) you are working with (e.g. entire or parts of the drinking water, wastewater or storm water system, the hydrological cycle, etc.). Also, be prepared to shortly explain what your doctoral project is focused on.
- Send a short (maximum 1 A4 page) description of your doctoral project. We will use this as a basis when discussing what your individual project assignments can be focus on. In the email you send, also describe if you have any prior knowledge or experience of risk assessment etc. in any field. Please, send us this information no later than then one week prior to the course starts.
Date | Topic |
---|---|
November 10-11 09:00-16:30 both days (Physical meeting in Gothenburg)
| Risks related to the water cycle The concept of risk and related aspects The risk management process Methods for estimating risk
Monte Carlo simulations Exercises on risk estimation and uncertainty analysis using Monte Carlo simulations (your own computer is needed for this) Decision on individual project assignments |
November 18 09:00-16:30 (Digital) | Methods developed for the drinking water sector
Discussion on individual project assignments |
November 24 09:00-16:30 (Digital) | Discussion on individual project assignments Linking risk assessment and decision analysis to provide decision support
The theoretical background to the methods listed above will be presented and several examples presented. |
December 16 09:00-16:30 (Digital) | Presentation of project assignments and discussion Each participant presents their own work. The aim is that the rest of the group will get a deeper understanding and learn how methods etc. can be applied in other research areas. |
