We invite you to become involved with the Risk Management and Decision Processes Center at the Wharton School as a Corporate Associate or Research Sponsor. The Center is actively seeking sponsors to help fund work in a variety of research areas.
Research Sponsors provide funding for specific research initiatives of mutual interest and regularly interact with Risk Center directors, faculty and fellows to discuss updates on these initiatives and to provide their perspectives on future directions the Center might consider pursuing.
Corporate Associates provide crucial support for the Center's operations, participate in roundtable discussions and offer insight into the value, direction and timing of research projects.
Associates and Sponsors attend Risk Center workshops and conferences at no cost. These meetings offer an opportunity to consult with experts and policy makers from research institutions, industry, and government agencies from the U.S. and abroad. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to contribute to our newsletter, Risk Management Review.
Beginning in 2009, the Risk Center is inviting select organizations to become Strategic Partners. With a multi-year commitment, Strategic Partners will sit on the Center's newly reformed Advisory Committee, and play a key role in shaping the Center's future research agenda. Strategic partnership with the Risk Center will enable your company to impact the future of its industry, as well as best practices, market innovations and future regulations. You will also benefit from greater visibility and customized relationships across Wharton through membership in the Wharton Partnership,
Wharton's primary vehicle for fostering industry-academic collaboration.
Strategic Partner Membership for 2009-2011 is discussed on an individual basis.
Research Sponsor Membership for 2009 begins at $35,000.
Corporate Associate Membership for 2009 is $15,000.
We invite your involvement in the Center's leading research.
Contributions to the Wharton Risk Management and Decision Process Center
are tax-deductible.
