What's a Riskathon?
A unique, week-long collaborative event where IR students and global experts come together to analyze and predict the most critical risks facing our world in the coming year.
Now in its 9th year, this collaboration between Wikistrat, a global crowdsourced consultancy, and NYU's Political Risks and Prediction course will examine potential risks to global stability across two critical time horizons: 2025 and 2030.
