The specific aim is to facilitate and enhance knowledge transfer into business, initially insurance, from academic, government, professional and commercial experts at the forefront of risk-related research. It is not-for-profit and dedicated to establishing and fostering links that create value between all its members (see Network map). Sitting at the centre of this community, the Lighthill Risk Network is in a unique position to connect the right people, on the right problems, rapidly.

This part of the website sets out the central aims of the Lighthill Risk Network (Vision statement), and provides an outline of our organisation structure in terms of our Management Board, Staff, and Advisory Boards.  Our Boards include representation from leading individuals in insurance, science, engineering and government, and enable us to sit at the cutting edge of research, whilst understanding the emerging needs and requirements of business in today's changing regulatory and physical climate. Targeting the latest developments in key areas of risk (see Key topics), and promoting the translation of knowledge between communities, the Lighthill Risk Network exists to focus and facilitate business's response to managing risk.
