Transfer and Perspectives of Research

The IFA conducts research, testing and consulting in the interests of safety and health in employment and education. To ensure that the results and findings reach the intended target groups where they can ultimately be effective - i.e. our own member institutions, and also directly in schools, universities, other institutions, and companies - the IFA makes use of a wide variety of communication channels in close coordination with the Section Science Media. It also has expertise and tools at its disposal that enable it to address emerging and future prevention topics at an early stage.

Against this backdrop, the team of the Section Transfer and Perspectives of Research, part of the Department Work Systems of the Future, is active in the following areas:

• Science communication: press relations, media contact, social media
• Social media
• Courses, seminars and specialist events (for a national and international audience)
• Presence at trade fairs
• Public events (e.g. Bonn Sciences Night, Girls' Day)
• Support of professional visitors
• Risk Observatory and trend monitoring
• Competence Centre for Climate Change and Occupational Safety and Health (coordination)
