10th ANNUAL SAFETY FORUM

June 7-8, 2023 | Brussels

Safety Forum 2023
Call for Presentations
CLOSED: MARCH 10, 2023

The Organizing Committee invites submissions to present as a speaker.

The Forum is again being co-sponsored by Flight Safety Foundation, the European Regions Airline Association and EUROCONTROL. It will take place at the EUROCONTROL Headquarters where at least 250 front-line professionals and those who train and manage them will be able to hear presentations and discuss the Safety Forum’s findings on Knowledge, Skills and Experience for Safe Operations.                                                                                                                  

The Forum will facilitate exchange of the industry’s best practices that can promote and improve Knowledge, Skills and Experience for Safe Operations. During breakout sessions, we will brainstorm ideas that can further improve Knowledge, Skills and Experience for Safer Operations.

The Organizing Committee invites submissions to present as a speaker. The list below shows possible topics for the presentations:

Humans for Current Safe Operations

  • Lessons taken from the COVID-19 pandemic (e.g., skill fade)
  • Dealing with staffing limitations and mitigation strategies
  • Understanding human performance and organisational factors
  • Mental health and peer support programmes

Humans for Future Safe Operations

  • Understanding new technologies and industry demands
  • Updating skills and knowledge requirements in a changing industry

  • How to attract, select and retain the right talent

The Path to Diversity for Safe Operations

  • Understanding diversity as a driver of resilience and innovation
  • Sharing practical approaches to support diversity for safe operations
  • Managing inter-generational knowledge transfer

Note: Presentation topics are not limited to the list above. If you have ideas or an innovative approach that might address any of the problems in developing and retaining knowledge, skills and experience within our industry, we would like to hear from you.
