Risk Assessment Course at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte
An inaugural course was developed as part of an activity of the North Brazilian University Network that is based on RISK21 tools and case studies. The course is directed towards training future environmental regulators, and it is anticipated that the course will become part of the regular university curriculum and will continue to evolve and expand its case study offerings each year. The first offering of the course was taught by Prof. Julio Navoni and E. Munarriz.
