GRF · Events and dialogue calendar
Past programmes
The checked record of past activities of The Global Risks Forum (GRF): proceedings, recordings, dialogue records and after-action notes, each with the rights that allow publication. Crisis inquiries, such as the United Kingdom COVID-19 Inquiry's first module report (2024), found that exercise lessons were identified but not acted on. This archive keeps findings, owners and follow-up visible. Nothing is archived yet.

02Archive standard
What each archived programme is designed to include.
| Element | Condition for publication |
|---|---|
| Programme summary | Purpose, format and date taken from the convening record |
| Proceedings | Approved by the responsible editor, with speakers' consent |
| Recordings | Published only where speakers and participants have consented and rights are cleared |
| Dialogue record | Checked by participants and released, linked to Dialogue outcomes |
| After-action note | For exercises, with dissent, adverse findings and each improvement item's owner preserved |
| Hosts and supporters | Named only with written permission and a current record |
03Archival practice
How records are preserved.
- Each archived item keeps a persistent address and its publication date.
- Recordings are kept only with the consent of those recorded.
- File formats are chosen for long-term readability.
- Withdrawals are logged, not silent.
04Process
How the process runs.
Process
Past programmes: IHR event detection and notification
Under the IHR (2005), a State Party assesses events with the Annex 2 instrument and notifies WHO through its National IHR Focal Point.
01 Surveillance
- 01Indicator-based surveillanceSource · State PartyRoutine reporting, such as case reports, is one signal source. Article 5 requires capacity to detect, assess, notify and report events.
- 02Event-based surveillanceSource · State Party · WHOUnstructured signals, such as media or community reports, are another source. WHO may use such reports and then seeks verification.
02 Event handling
- 03TriageStepSignals are screened for relevance and duplicates before follow-up. The Regulations prescribe no triage method; this is general practice.
- 04Verify with the sourceStep · State PartyWhen WHO requests verification, the State Party replies within 24 hours with an acknowledgement and the public health information available.
03 Assessment
- 05Rapid risk assessmentModelA rapid assessment of hazard, exposure and context can support the response. It is separate from Annex 2 and not in the text read.
- 06Annex 2 decision instrumentGate · State PartyThe State Party assesses each event with the Annex 2 algorithm, on impact, novelty, international spread and restrictions.
04 IHR focal point
- 07Notify WHODecision · State Party, through its National IHR Focal PointThe State Party notifies WHO within 24 hours of assessment, through its Focal Point, of events that may be a PHEIC under the instrument.
05 Response
- 08Public health responseStep · Rapporteur (independent)Article 13 requires each State Party to build capacity to respond promptly and effectively to public health risks and emergencies.
- 09After-action reviewStepThe IHR monitoring and evaluation framework includes voluntary after action reviews, next to the Joint External Evaluation (JEE).
Neutral outline of a published external standard or method, from its issuing body. Not a record of operation. Nexus does not perform, certify or approve any step shown. A gate or decision belongs to the party the source names. Annex 2 is applied by the State Party, not by Nexus. The text read is the third edition (2016).
05Finding a record
Searching the archive.
Records are organised by year, kind of activity and field. Published outcomes are also linked from dialogue outputs and programme records.
06Rights
Why rights come before publication.
Speakers
Consent to record
A speaker's words are published only on the terms the speaker agreed.
Participants
No unexpected exposure
Participants who did not consent are not identifiable in published material.
07Lessons kept open
An archive that tracks what changed.
A lesson identified is not a lesson learned until an institution changes a plan, a protocol or a training programme. Each after-action note lists its improvement items with the owner institution and the status that owner reports: open, in progress, closed or lapsed. Once reviewed, items from Universe editions also go into the Reports programme, such as the Scenario and Stress-Test series and the Universe Annual Synthesis.
Exercise findings describe how an arrangement performed under a scenario. They are not observed impacts, and the scenario is labelled as such.
08Earlier activity
Past claims are checked before they are archived.
Earlier GRF websites described activities and figures without reviewed records. They are not repeated here. If you hold a record of a past GRF programme, such as an agenda, a consented recording or a published report, write to the integrity concern form. The acknowledgement gives a reference and names the next step. Upcoming activities appear on the events calendar once on record.
An empty archive means that no record has yet been checked for publication. It is not a statement about past activity.

10Questions
Questions and answers.
Why are past GRF events not listed?
Because only programmes with a checked record and cleared rights are archived. Others are added once their records are reviewed.
Can I reuse an archived recording?
Only under the terms stated on the item. Where no reuse terms are stated, ask the media accreditation form first.
How do I ask for my image or words to be removed?
Write to privacy@globalriskforum.com. The acknowledgement gives a reference and names the next step, and any change is recorded.
Where are Universe edition records kept?
On the Evidence and outcomes page, once an edition is on record. No edition is on record yet.

Information and enquiries are open today. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
