Institutional participation
Institutions take part in The Global Risks Forum (GRF) as members of the National Nexus Consortium (NNC), through one of five constituency councils. The institution is the member, acting through authorised representatives and an agreed contribution plan. This page sets out the scope of institutional participation, what an institution contributes, how it is reviewed and the limits on what membership confers. Financial institutions and regulators also have a cross-cutting pathway led with The Global Risks Alliance (GRA). Today the current service level is R0, information and enquiries.
