Forum 15 - Promoting occupational safety and health research in the EU

The two-day seminar was structured around two sessions. The aim of the fi rst session was to elaborate a consensus list of top OSH research priorities for the next fi ve years on the basis of the above mentioned report and of expert forecasts on emerging OSH risks carried out by the Agency and its Topic Centre. The second session provided the opportunity to bring together representatives from existing EU-wide networks (such as New OSH ERA, PEROSH, and the Agency’s Topic Centres) to explore ways of achieving closer cooperation in order to promote the inclusion of OSH issues in FP7 and coordinate possible actions under that scheme.
