The Conference will bring together hundreds of researchers, practitioners and advocates from around the world and will cover a range of topics within injury prevention and safety promotion.

Injuries - violence and unintentional - are a major burden on public health worldwide. While experts in injury prevention and safety promotion recognize the need for action, the state-of-the-art knowledge and practice from these fields are not consistently applied to policies and programmes on the ground. The main theme for Safety 2016 – “From research to implementation” - seeks to provoke new ideas and experiences to address this gap.

Safety 2016 is hosted by the National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) and co-sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO).
