November 30–31, 2010, Munich, Germany
The CASPER and EPOCh projects on child safety are organising a joint mid-term workshop to present their research findings on child safety and to discuss future activities. This two day workshop will be held on 29 and 30 November 2010 in Munich (Germany).
Although significant achieve-ments have been made in reducing fatalities and injuries in traffic accidents over the last decade, continued efforts are needed to bring the num-bers down further. Motivated by this, the CASPER and EPOCh projects will address some aspects of child safety in vehicles.
Workshop
A workshop is organised under the flag of the COVER Coordination and Support Action. The purpose of this joined Workshop is to inform the public about the progress of CASPER and EPOCh and to receive feedback on future research direction via open discussions. Participation in this event is free of charge.
Registrations can be made online.
