Background, composition and function of the Scientific Advisory Board:
The CSE Institute aims to initiate and work on leading research topics in the field of process and plant safety throughout Europe. The safety of technical plants is to be sustainably increased through ongoing innovations. In doing so, the safety needs of the public, the benefit of technical plants for the general public and economic concerns of the industry are to be considered as well as global resources and ethical issues.
