On Thursday 13 April 2023, NWO will organise a matchmaking event on location for the KIC call 'Cooperation between Humans and (semi-)Autonomous Systems'. The aim of this Call for proposals is to stimulate interdisciplinary research that contributes to the collaboration between humans and (semi-)autonomous systems. In this field, technological and social innovation go hand in hand.

‘Let’s raise awareness about the importance of Safe and sustainable-by-design and connect the various disciplines in the field!’. This first symposium focuses on the design, production, persistence and fate of small molecules.

Guest speaker Kai Goebel from the System Sciences Lab at Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) will talk about maintenance in Prognostics and Health Management (PHM). This lunch meeting is the second in a series of seminars on maintenance, organized by the TU Delft Airborne Safety Lab and sponsored by the seed funding program of the TU Delft Safety & Security Institute.

On Monday 6 February 2023, from 10.30 to 12.00 the Innovation and Impact Centre together with TU Delft Safety and Security Institute are organising a hybrid funding info session on Safety & Security related call opportunities at NWO and Horizon Europe cluster 3 ‘Civil Security for Society’. The live location will be at NEXT Delft, Molengraaffsingel 8, but we will provide also the opportunity to follow the session online. ​

A scientific assessment usually involves a group of scientific experts with the task to gather available evidence and answer an assessment question. Organizations carrying out scientific assessments have guidelines to support different steps in assessments and ensure good practice. The Scientific Committee at the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) adopted in 2014 a Guidance of Expert Knowledge Elicitation in Food Safety Assessments. It recommends making using formal and probabilistic expert judgement. I will describe the progress in implementing structured expert judgement in these scientific assessments, and provide reflections on the choice of methods for EKE, the needs to adapt the requirements on formality and level of precision in probabilistic judgements to the applied context.

The workshop will aim at jointly, with all participants, formulating which innovations would be needed for climate risk assessment methods (an agenda for “Policy-informed assessment tools for climate risks for infrastructures in Deltas”). The goal is to formulate a research agenda for these tools, which should bring them closer to the actual world of policymaking.

Join us for an exciting workshop from 6th to 10th November

Tuesday October 4th, 2022 - SRA-E Benelux Annual Meeting 2022 The 6th SRA-E Benelux Annual Meeting has been postponed to Tuesday October 4th, 2022 and will be hosted by the Dutch National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM). The theme will be: “Risk Perception: From Science to Policy”. The SRA-E Benelux Annual Meeting brings together researchers, government agencies, industry representatives, academics and practitioners of risk (analysis). The Annual Meeting aims to provide a unique environment in the Benelux for participants to interact with colleagues, present (research) findings, exchange ideas and (re)acquaint with (new and old) friends.
