- Overview
The world of risk professionals, consultants and managers is constantly in flux. Due to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) challenges, cyber threats and other emerging risks, those working in the field need to keep their radar on for any changes, to differentiate themselves from the pack.
Reaching its 12th edition in 2026, this [OSPA-award winning Risk Management Summer Course](https://www.tudelft.nl/en/2022/io/september/tu-delft-course-wins-outstanding-security-training-initiative-prize) will get you up to speed in a practical way with the latest developments in risk management, regardless of your industry and background; and will provide you with an opportunity to expand your network with like-minded peers.
The course is delivered under guidance of Prof. Sicco Santema (TU Delft), and Ir. Rinske Geerlings (Business As Usual, Australia) who was TU Delft Alumnus of the Year in 2012.
**Course Content and ISO Standards**
The course is delivered at TU Delft campus and divided into four modules (each accommodating a maximum of 40 participants.) Each module extends over 2.5 to 3 days. For a complete overview we recommend joining the whole course but you may join specific modules individually.
This highly interactive course is infused with team-based exercises, brainstorming sessions, discussions and other engaging training techniques. With participants coming from all walks of life and geographical regions, it also provides completely new perspectives to those who have already worked in the field of risk management for a longer time. The latest lineup of speakers and activities of 2025 features distinguished guests from leading industry organizations, including Bol.com, Rabobank, Dutch Railways (NS), Ministry of Justice and Security, National Crisis Center, and more.
The guidance offered by related ISO standards further enhances the theoretical principles that underpin the various frameworks covered in this course. Participants interested in getting certified would need to book separately for an ISO exam which can be taken computer-based anytime after the course, and which can be provided details on upon request.
*ECTS points can be earned for this course upon fulltime 2-week attendance and a follow-up case study exercise under TU Delft Professor supervision. The IDE subject code of this course is ID5113. Please contact us for more details.*
