Why we joined EU-VRi?
|
As is stated by the CEO of the EU-VRi Aleksandar Jovanovic “The European Virtual Institute for Integrated Risk Management (EU-VRi) is the European organization which provides the highest quality of professional service, consulting, information and education needed in the broad area of modern integrated risk management”. This mission goes in the same direction from the process safety group of the Chemical Engineering Department, which has been characterized by researches development of different risks calculations such as individual or social risk, applied on real cases.
