Who We Are
IPUR is the premier University Research Institute in Asia that focuses on public and experts’ perception of risks. We conduct rigorous research, executive education and public engagement on risk perception and communication, with an emphasis on health, environment, and emerging technologies.
Our research is policy-oriented, social-science led, multi-disciplinary, and data-driven. We partner with government, industry and academia to design and evaluate intervention measures, train professionals and students, develop resources, and organise outreach events, stakeholder workshops and conferences.
