SAFER Thursday Seminars – the agenda for this autumn’s lunch series is now set!
Our agenda for the autumn is taking shape, and we look forward to another inspiring season together! Almost every Thursday, we at SAFER gather for a joint networking lunch followed by an engaging seminar – all linked to our shared ambition of achieving a safe transport system for all.
Speakers come from within our community as well as from external organisations, and the topics span from current research to seeds of new collaborations. The seminars are open to all within the SAFER collaboration and can be attended online as well – but if you want to join the lunch onsite, you’ll need to register in advance.
We warmly welcome colleagues from all our partner organisations – the Thursday seminars are a valued meeting place, perfect for networking, learning, and sparking new ideas!
Welcome!
