Safety and security sciences boast a rich and multidisciplinary history of nearly two centuries of intriguing and impactful research and development. Nevertheless, these fields are still on the fringe of formal scientific recognition and public awareness of their influence on daily life remains limited. The TU Delft Section of Safety and Security Science (Department of Values, Technology, and Innovation) created a series of enlightening posters to help remedy this.

Eleonora Papadimiriou and Justin Dauwels about their personal connection with the TU Delft Safety & Security Institute, whether security and safety concerns are sufficiently addressed by engineers and the plans for the institute in the coming years.

TU Delft Safety & Security Institute mandate has been renewed for another 5-year period to continue its work with and for the safety & security research community at TU Delft. For this next chapter of the institute, Behnam Taebi will hand over the directorship to Eleonora Papadimitriou and Justin Dauwels. Together they will take the lead as co-directors. With Mechanical Engineering joining, the institute now represents the safety & security communities of six faculties.

The department of Values, Technology & Innovation at the Faculty of Technology, Policy & Management has 4 vacancies for PhD candidates in the area of AI and road safety. Deadline for application is 31 January 2024.

In June 2024 TU Delft Safety & Security Institute will again organize its annual course for young scholars (PhD students and postdocs) on the safe (& sustainable) by design approach.

Many people now believe that there is a significant risk of an existential catastrophe befalling humanity within the next century. Assuming this conviction is well-founded, how should we respond?

After months of smaller events, lots of networking, and building momentum for Health & Care at TPM, we are now ready to officially launch the Institute for Health Systems Science.
