European perspectives on security research and safety aspects, March 4 - 5, 2010

In recent years, the security research community has started to elaborate on questions regarding the aspect of security and safety and its overall impact on the field of security research. acatech - the German Academy of Science and Engineering has started to concentrate on this subject and will in 2010 give a European overview on the topic.


acatech organises the workshop "European perspectives on security research and safety aspects". Outstanding experts from Austria, France, Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Norway, Slovakia and Russia are invited to present the position of their country’s security research community with regard to safety aspects.


The workshop will take place at the Fraunhofer Institute for High-Speed Dynamics - Ernst-Mach-Institut in Freiburg (Germany) on March 4 and 5, 2010 under the chairmanship of Prof. Klaus Thoma.

    [18.12.09] European Commission working document Consultation on the Future "EU 2020" Strategy

    The Commission has issued a public consultation document on giving the EU economy a brighter future through the EU 2020 Strategy. EU 2020 aims to deliver greener and socially inclusive growth, as outlined by President Barroso in his Political Guidelines. The new Strategy will build on the achievements of the Lisbon Strategy, while learning its lessons. The consultation paper sets out a vision for how EU 2020 will focus on entrenching recovery from the crisis, helping to prevent a similar one in future and on three thematic objectives: creating value through knowledge; empowering people in inclusive societies; and creating a competitive, connected and greener economy. The deadline for responses to the consultation is 15 January 2010. The new Commission will then make a detailed proposal to the Spring European Council.

    The 2009 Euro-CASE Annual Conference has been hosted by IVA on Thursday 5 November 2009 in Stockholm. The theme was: Increasing Interest for Higher Education in Mathematics, Science & Technology.

    The emerging knowledge-based societies require knowledgeable citizens and consumers as well as skilled personnel at all levels. Knowledge in science, technology and mathematics are vital in order to cope with the many challenges – economic growth and competitiveness, the environment and climate change, a sustainable supply of energy etc. – which our societies are already facing and which will become even more pressing in the very near future. Scientific capabilities and technological competences are critical for innovation and providing solutions to all of the problems of modern society.

    The conference focused on encouraging young people to study and pursue careers in science, technology and mathematics. It included presentations and opportunities to exchange experiences from some very interesting initiatives and actions taken within Euro-CASE member countries. The success and effectiveness of the various approaches and solutions was also discussed.
