Lunch seminar with guest speaker Prof. Dr. Olga Fink. This seminar is part of a series on predictive maintenance, organized as part of a seed project on Technologies of the Future for Aircraft Safety.

On Thursday 13 April 2023, NWO will organise a matchmaking event on location for the KIC call 'Cooperation between Humans and (semi-)Autonomous Systems'. The aim of this Call for proposals is to stimulate interdisciplinary research that contributes to the collaboration between humans and (semi-)autonomous systems. In this field, technological and social innovation go hand in hand.

‘Let’s raise awareness about the importance of Safe and sustainable-by-design and connect the various disciplines in the field!’. This first symposium, organized by NWO, focuses on the design, production, persistence and fate of small molecules.

Guest speaker Kai Goebel from the System Sciences Lab at Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) will talk about maintenance in Prognostics and Health Management (PHM). This lunch meeting is the second in a series of seminars on maintenance, organized by the TU Delft Airborne Safety Lab and sponsored by the seed funding program of the TU Delft Safety & Security Institute.

A series of seminars about maintenance sponsored by the TU Delft Safety & Security Institute Seed Funding. The talk titled "Proportional Hazards Modelling: Theory and Applications" emphasizes the value of university and industry collaboration in the field of condition monitoring. The traditional approach of condition monitoring is compared to the more advanced method of proportional hazards modelling (PHM). Incorporating economic considerations is also discussed as a key factor in optimizing decisions for condition-based maintenance (CBM). Two specific applications of PHM for CBM optimization are presented: P & W aircraft engines and diesel engines on frigates

A scientific assessment usually involves a group of scientific experts with the task to gather available evidence and answer an assessment question. Organizations carrying out scientific assessments have guidelines to support different steps in assessments and ensure good practice. The Scientific Committee at the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) adopted in 2014 a Guidance of Expert Knowledge Elicitation in Food Safety Assessments. It recommends making using formal and probabilistic expert judgement. I will describe the progress in implementing structured expert judgement in these scientific assessments, and provide reflections on the choice of methods for EKE, the needs to adapt the requirements on formality and level of precision in probabilistic judgements to the applied context.

On Monday 6 February 2023, from 10.30 to 12.00 the TU Delft Innovation and Impact Centre together with TU Delft Safety and Security Institute are organising a hybrid funding info session on Safety & Security related call opportunities at NWO and Horizon Europe cluster 3 ‘Civil Security for Society’. The live location will be at NEXT Delft, Molengraaffsingel 8, but we will provide also the opportunity to follow the session online. ​

The workshop will aim at jointly, with all participants, formulating which innovations would be needed for climate risk assessment methods (an agenda for “Policy-informed assessment tools for climate risks for infrastructures in Deltas”). The goal is to formulate a research agenda for these tools, which should bring them closer to the actual world of policymaking.
