Theme : “Professional training and industrial safety”
The call concerns two topics:
Effectiveness of training and related mechanisms for skill development
It aims better to understand the benefits and the limits of mechanisms used to improve knowledge and professional skills, and which raises questions related to the measure of effectiveness and efficiency.
New mechanisms for the development of safety-related skills
It aims to allow experimentation with new types of training activities that better articulate the top-down and rule-compliance dimensions of safety management with the “bottom-up” dimensions of experience, skills and adaptation.

The scientific disciplines which seem most relevant to the call are organization studies, the cognitive sciences (in particular developmental psychology), education sciences (in particular vocational training), ergonomics, law, economics and engineering. Inter- and multi-disciplinary projects are encouraged.
The work of FonCSI on this theme
In 2015, the FonCSI launched a work programme on “professional training and industrial safety”. A working group prepared a state of industrial practice on this topic and the problems encountered, in order to identify relevant research questions.
