The university is a place of teaching and learning, researching and experimenting. People with very different tasks and areas of expertise work under the same roof: professors, students, research assistants, administrative and technical staff. The 2nd university conference in Dresden wants to contribute to a condition where all the people named above can carry out their various tasks without hazards and where safety and health are recognised as a quality feature of a university.

From the 19th to the 21st of September 2011 the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) together with the Statutory accident insurance of the Bundesland Niedersachsen and the University Information-System (HIS) organize the 2nd conference “Safe and healthy university”. It addresses:

• Executives from research,
• Teaching and administration,
• OSH professionals,
• Health promoters,
• Staff and works councils; and
• The accident insurance institutions.

All speeches will be translated simultaneously German-English.
