We are happy to announce that we have the seminar schedule ready for our appreciated SAFER Thursday lunch seminar for the autumn set!

We will continue with the current concept; all our partners are very welcome to participate in a networking lunch, starting 11:30 onsite at SAFER, and then we start up the seminar in hybrid form between 12:00- 12:45, including dialogue. The overall purposes with the seminars are to share knowledge about our research and other interesting topics related to road safety and networking within the community. We aim for inspiration to create new projects and boost dialogue and collaboration in our network.

We kick off the seminars with dialogue about Volvo Groups recently launched safety report August 31, and we will also discuss ethics related to self-driving vehicles and learn about the results from several SAFER pre-studies and other ongoing projects from the portfolio, e.g. Re-engage, AfroSafe, SITIS and ADAS I and II. Also, we will learn from traffic safety advancement in Finland and get an update from the Swedish national centre for cycling.

SAFER researchers that are included in our contact list will get personal invitations to the seminars. You do not have to sign up to the event if you attend online, but registration to the lunch is needed. If you are a SAFER partner but not currently active in the network and would like to join the community, please contact Sophia Guerra Ekesand (ekesand@chalmers.se) to be added to the invitation list.

We are looking forward to seeing our partners here at the SAFER, including at the networking lunch, and of course also online for those of you can’t make it to the office.

Don't miss the opportunity to learn and network, a warm welcome to our seminar series, beginning August 31st !
