Universities

Research vessels are floating laboratories, equipped with state-of-the-art and special technology for data collection and analysis. Just like at universities, international teams with different professions work here in very confined spaces and sometimes under extreme conditions. How must occupational safety be designed and coordinated so that everyone returns home safely at the end of the day? This and other questions about occupational safety in research and teaching will be addressed at the 45th conference of the VDSI – German Association for Safety, Health and Environmental Protection at Work’s Universities and Scientific Institutions section from September 9 to 11, 2024 in Hamburg.
