Description

The topic of safety is characterised by a broad spectrum of elements and issues. The objective of the topical network is to build a bridge between safety and security research. The first step is to systematically bundle the different scientific concepts and diverse activities. In light of the growing significance of safety in society, the topical network will ask interdisciplinary questions on civil safety research and work out recommendations for action. The opening session of the acatech topical network on safety took place in June 2008. The topical network includes designated representatives from the safety and security sectors.
