7 Safety Assessment Library Directory: Roadmap and access to safety assessment related technical information Organizes safety assessment technical references based on convenient directory (list of content) by easy recognizable topics (may be organized in several levels) Stores information (articles, data, technical papers, etc.) and provides links to relevant web sites and other information sources

8 Safety Assessment Forum Member States place to post information on their safety assessment programmes, projects and activities These spaces will be within the GNSSN Member States will be responsible for maintenance and content management GSAN will provide a template explaining expected content and organization of information Space for topical discussions, questions and answers, and comments Controlled access via registration Topics to be identified by GSAN Advisory Group and to be coordinated by a volunteer from one of the participating Member States (organizations) e.g. Newcomer s exchange

9 Safety Assessment Projects Space for collaboration on safety assessment projects by GSAN participating organizations Projects can be proposed by any GSAN participant to be then agreed by the GSAN Advisory Group Projects shall focus on furthering safety assessment knowledge, development and validation of methods and harmonization of approaches Projects may include mentoring or advising students working on safety assessment projects. Safety assessment relevant data bases are identified as special project Participation is voluntary but requires active contribution, no observers.

10 Safety Assessment Education and Training Network features supporting competency and capacity development in Member States Curriculum: knowledge and skills requirements based on Safety Standards Competency development advisory service: space for storing relevant information including review results and for organizing and providing the service Training materials: training materials in form of PP presentations, video lectures, e-learning systems, simulation and analytical tools. Workshops, seminars, etc: space for organizing training and skill building events, collaborating with participating institutions, online webinars, mentoring, archiving and informing Member States
