PEROSH - Partnership for European Research in Occupational Safety and Health
The Partnership for European Research in Occupational Safety and Health (PEROSH) was established in 2003. The national occupational safety and health institutes from Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Spain and UK signed a framework agreement in order to cooperate and coordinate their research and development efforts for a healthier, longer and more productive working life. Furthermore, they aim to cooperate with the EU and the national authorities of Europe in order to support the OSH policy development and enforcement.
The objectives should be achieved through different activities: pooling of resources, knowledge sharing, cooperation in and development of joint research and development (R&D) projects, collaboration on European R&D projects and programmes as well as cooperation with external research centres and OSH-related institutions and networks. Despite that close cooperation, the PEROSH member institutes remain independent.
In 2008, the PEROSH agreement was renewed. Hereafter, a PEROSH coordinator was appointed to establish and support the above mentioned activities.
