EuroSafe promotes concerted action and research to explore priority issues and/or relevant methodological aspects of injury prevention work. These member-initiated activities aim to respond to the need to clarify the state of affairs and the way ahead on priority issues in the EuroSafe strategy. They should also serve the information needs of the entire membership and other stakeholders such as our European partners in the public health domain and in the relevant safety domains, the European Commission and the World Health Organization.
The proposed mechanisms for this are strategic Task Forces. To establish a Task Force a minimum of five partners should endorse the initiative, agree on a briefing as regards scope, objectives and work plan, and secure funding, and/ or contributions in kind, to implement at least the first year of operating the Task Force. For more information on establishing a Task Force please contact the Secretariat (secretariat@eurosafe.eu.com).
Task Forces report annually to the Board and to the general meeting of members of EuroSafe. These annual reports and reviews will help to assess the prospects for more sustainable actions on that issue in the following year, including the option of a transition to a long-term Programme of activities and the establishment of a Center of Excellence (CoE).
