The 17 Success Stories describe SAFER's impact and achievements during ten years of research and collaboration.

17 SAFER Success Stories have been created during 2015. Each 1-page success story describes and exemplifies the value of SAFER, the impact and achievements of SAFER on society and its benefits to SAFER's partners. A success story can include all types of results and outcome, quantitative or qualitative. It can describe a project cluster, a person, a method, a recognition, something where SAFER has contributed as a catalyst or leveraged other findings or results.

During October 6-7th, 2010, an evaluation of SAFER was conducted by VINNOVA. The Stage 2 covers the three years 2009-04-01 to 2012-03-31.

All together, five evaluators visited SAFER. The scientific experts of the evaluation team, Richard Hanowski and Anne McCartt, addressed matters concerning research strategy, projects, and progress.

In a subsequent meeting, the generalist evaluators, Robert Johnston (Chair), Mary O’Kane and Heidi Dreyer, together with the scientific experts, addressed matters such as organisation and management, finance, interaction between industry partners and the university, and educational activities.

In addition, the whole evaluation team met with 10 PhD students, discussing their background, research topics and experiences in SAFER.

This is the Stage 2 Report, which is written by the centre.
