  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

banners-05

Technologies offer opportunities, yet at the same time, (known and unknown) risks. In this module, we discuss how to embed safety into an innovation project and in the culture of the company.

To structure the learning and discussion, the learning objectives and content for this module is as follows:

    • Understand the importance of safe innovations in relation to Responsible Research and Innovation (Section 4.2).
    • Learn and get inspired by case studies on how to implement safety thinking in your business, policies and/or innovation projects (Section 4.3, Interviews with reflections on safety and safety regulations in nanotechnology and unmanned aircraft).
    • The importance of a safety culture (section 4.4)
