The Organising Committee invites submissions to present as a speaker. The list below shows possible topics for the presentations:
Event
Safety forum 2023
Knowledge, Skills and Experience for Safe Operations
The 10th Annual Safety Forum is focused on Knowledge, Skills and Experience for Safe Operations. The Forum is organised by the Flight Safety Foundation European Advisory Committee together with EUROCONTROL and the European Regions Airline Association.
Knowledge, Skills and Experience for Safe Operations
As demonstrated by the COVID-19 crisis, aviation industry resilience and vitality are in many areas constrained by the availability of suitably trained, qualified and experienced staff. The issue affects everyone – people on the sharp end in flight operations, maintenance, ground handling, air traffic control and airport personnel, as well as managers and other personnel on the blunt end. There has also been a loss of experience through normal retirement and through redundancies where alternative employment has proved more attractive than returning to aviation. At the same time, new realities in the industry and society, including paradigms for sustainable development, technological advances, new business models and new generations are bringing new demands for particular skills and knowledge.

- Include the speaker’s photo and a bio of up to 200 words.
- Note that submissions will be rejected if the Organising Committee considers that they are to be used as commercial advertising or as a business promotion effort.
The closing date for submissions is Friday 10 March 2023. All abstracts and bios must be submitted as MS Word Documents attached to an email sent from the address you wish to be used for communication to [email protected]. Receipt will be acknowledged.
