The conference objectives are

• to 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;
• to highlight opportunities and challenges to mainstream injury prevention and safety promotion into relevant policy domains; and to
• to enhance the involvement of relevant stakeholders within countries (i.e. government, civil society, private sector and academia) and to foster sustainable and collaborative commitments as to actions for injury prevention and safety promotion in Member States.
