WP2: SAFETY RESEARCH IMPACT ASSESSMENT

WP Leader

NLR

Objectives

OPTICS performs a safety research assessment, reviewing the state-of-the-art of research and identifying technological gaps and bottlenecks to innovation. The organisation of four workshops will be a major source of information from a broad range of stakeholder groups.
The validity of the initial framework will be tested through a trial application, performing a basic qualitative analysis of possible societal and market benefits of research.
Based on the input gathered in workshops, project reviews and interviews conducted in that year, OPTICS will issue an annual report on the status of research and formulate strategic recommendations regarding new research topics and organisational, financial and regulatory aspects that need to be addressed to remove the bottlenecks.

Outcomes

• Consolidated report on state-of-the-art in safety research
• Market and societal impact assessment
• Assessment of the contribution of EU-funded projects towards achieving ACARE goals
