Call for Papers

The next ISRM Global Journal issue will be published in late-October 2023, and we are calling for papers from risk and resilience management professionals, as well as academics from related fields, who would like to share their experience and insights with their colleagues.

We are aligning this publication with a significant ISRM event, namely the launch of the ISRM Centre for the Study of Wicked Problems (CSWP). Subsequently, although submissions concerning all aspects of risk and resilience are indeed welcome, we are encouraging a particular focus to be on “Wicked Problems”.

Deadline for Submission

The deadline for submissions is Friday 6^th October 2023. Submissions can either be opinion pieces or peer-reviewed articles, guidelines for which are detailed below.
