From 2013, a permanent call for contributions to our collection of documents Industrial safety basics is open.
In parallel with this activity, the FonCSI has been participating since April 2012 in a European programme called SAF€RA, whose aim is to coordinate research in European member states in industrial safety and its link with society. SAF€RA launched a joint European call for proposals in September 2013, concerning the theme Human and organizational factors of safety, including value of safety. More information on call.safera.eu.
What will the topic of the next call be?
