UNRISK launch event

The UNRISK launch event took place on 13/14 October 2025 on University of Leeds campus.

We welcomed 14 new PhD students, plus 2 students from associated programmes who will join some UNRISK activities.

The event took place on University of Leeds campus, with presentations from the UNRISK academic team, meetings with current students, industry partners (mainly from our UNRISK Advisory Board) and an art-based icebreaker activity. The new students also presented themselves to the group. It was great for the group to finally spend time together after months of preparation and recruitment – the CDT projects and collaborations can now get underway!
