Research activities
Originality
Being at the crossroads between stakeholders concerned
with industrial safety and the management of technological risk (industry, local government,
trade unions, NGOs, researchers), ICSI and FonCSI's research activities comprise several original
aspects:
- innovative research themes,
arising from stakeholders' needs and expectations with
respect to industrial safety;
- collaboration between university researchers and application
sites to test and validate the proposed solutions;
- a multidisciplinary approach, fostering
collaboration between social sciences and engineering to promote the original solutions that are
required by the complex issues arising from safety in industry and cohabitation between industrial
activity and population;
- a focus on the dissemination and transfer of research results to
all stakeholders, via publications such as the Cahiers de la Sécurité Industrielle, the
organisation of conferences and seminars and
education and training programs, and collaboration with
industrial sites and facilities.
Three types of project
- Public interest:
medium-term research activities whose objective is to improve knowledge for
everyone. The projects are funded by
the Foundation
for an Industrial Safety Culture, and are selected following a
public Call for Proposals. Research projects are carried out by research
laboratories and universities, in collaboration with application sites
(industrial facilities, local government, competent authorities,
etc.)
- Pooled
funding: research projects coordinated by ICSI and financed by a
group of partners who share the costs and their knowledge on a given
subject.
- Private: studies or research projects carried out for one
of ICSI's members, on a specific problem whose investigation leads to
elements that can be shared with all of ICSI's members.
