The specific objectives of InjuryConf-2011 are to:
1. offer a forum for the exchange of experiences in implementing and in monitoring the impact of national strategies and actions amongst MS�s and for benchmarking policies and their outcomes;
2. highlight successful safety promotion initiatives and actions as evidenced through the various European collaborative projects, to encourage the uptake of good practices and to facilitate their implementation in particular in New Member States;
3. highlight opportunities and challenges to mainstream injury prevention and safety promotion into relevant policy domains; and to
4. enhance the involvement of relevant stakeholders within countries (i.e. government, NGO`s, academia and private sector) and to foster sustainable and collaborative commitments as to actions for injury prevention and safety promotion in MS�s.
Special attention will be given to EU-collaborative actions and programmes that have been initiated in the framework of the health programme. These actions relate to the priorities as identified in the 2007-Council Recommendation.
All priority issues will be profiled during the conference, with special emphasize on:
- the development of proper injury surveillance and monitoring infrastructures in MSs; and
- stimulating evidence-based action to address injury prevention priorities at national, regional and municipal levels in the EU, through co-ordinated processes of assessing and benchmarking progress in safety programmes in countries.
The conference will build upon international evidence presented at the Safety 2010 World Conference in London and profile models of European and national adaptation and implementation of the international evidence base.
