FSF Safety Forum 2023 Summary & Conclusions
IFA Comment: Yes, IFA agrees that we must engage the aviation industry into long-term plans and activities such as STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) or youth engagement via collaborations with universities.
Building an aviation workforce for the future is a must.
The 2023 Safety Forum, which was held 7-8 June 2023 at EUROCONTROL headquarters in Brussels, focused on the knowledge, skills and experience necessary to ensure safe operations as the industry continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, sees the introduction of new technologies and players, and seeks to attract a new generation of personnel.
Safety Forum participants discussed several important questions, such as how to attract and retain the needed personnel and how to achieve a diversity of thought that could lead to safety improvements and enhance resilience. Topics included human factors in training, safety culture and regulatory issues.
