EXHIBITION AND SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITIES

DEAR FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES We look forward to welcoming you to the European Safety and Reliability Conference 2016. ESREL2016 brings together researchers and practitioners in safety, reliability, risk and asset management to look at new approaches to dealing with challenges faced across all industry sectors. Alongside “traditional” sectors like oil and gas, nuclear, and aerospace, we’ll have representatives from newer application areas such as health, project management and technology innovation. Our conference this year is hosted at the Technology and Innovation Centre, a state of the art centre at Strathclyde University in Glasgow that is dedicated to industry-university collaboration. The University of Strathclyde and the UK Safety and Reliability Society – the professional body for Safety and Reliability Engineers – have come together to bring ESREL2016 to Glasgow. Together with the European Safety and Reliability Society we’ll ensure that the conference is informative, stimulating, challenging and enjoyable! We look forward to seeing you in Glasgow at ESREL2016. Best Wishes

Tim Bedford Tim Bedford Co-Chair of the ESREL 2016 Local Organising Committee.
