Who we are – Last week, the safety innovation center was represented in Brussels at the 9th BMBF Symposium on European Civil Security Research. The two-day event offered various panels on the topic of European security research as well as the opportunity to present one’s own research results. The work at the safety innovation center including the ongoing research projects could be presented on a poster. The symposium not only provided interesting insights into the future of European safety research, but also enabled a broad exchange with users and researchers as well as a good opportunity to make new contacts.
