With their study programmes in disciplines relevant to occupational safety and health, such as safety engineering, industrial hygiene, occupational medicine and occupational health care, universities make a decisive contribution to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals. In addition, universities have a role model function for good work for future generations of employees.
The contributions of this session highlight the status and challenges of disciplines relevant to occupational safety and health in different regions of the European and African continents. Examples of OSH-related courses of study are presented that enable students to implement UN Sustainable Development Goals 3 and 8 in particular. In this context, it will also be discussed how the university itself can become more sustainable.
The aim of the event is to promote exchange between the occupational safety and health professions of the different continents and to highlight opportunities for cross-continental cooperation in occupational safety and health.
