1st International conference on safety and crisis management in the construction, SME and tourism sectors

The 1st CoSaCM aims to bring together the academia and industry in the crucial sector of safety and crisis management. The conference will deal with the whole safety process, from the occurrence of the accident, and the management of its consequences to the management of the crisis. The conference will be based upon three founding pillars of the local and regional economy: Construction, Tourism and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). It is a unique opportunity to create an event where engineers will exchange opinions with managers, and safety and risk assessment will be coupled with safety management and consequently crisis management. The conference will examine the whole life cycle of a catastrophe/disaster/crisis: from policy making to the safe design of the structure, the management and training of the resources and the employees, and the successful (or unsuccessful) dealing of the consequences of the event.

The conference will provide a forum for presentation and discussion of scientific papers covering theory, methods and applications in the fields of safety and crisis management to a wide range of sectors and problem areas for the three disciplines: Construction, Tourism and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).
