International Bodies and Committees
Work at the IMO-SLF and MSC committee by various members of SAFER EURORO II on the Harmonisation of Existing Stability Rules and on Bulkcarriers Safety is being continued and is contributing massively to regulatory framework changes. The IMO-SLF-SDS committee on the Harmonisation of Existing Stability Rules was held in July 2002 and September 2003 (London) and continues its work through an International Correspondence Group (2003-2004).
Work at ITTC's Specialist Committee on Extreme Motions and Capsizing (whose 5 out of 10 members are partners of SAFER EURORO II) is being also continued.

Workshops
Three workshops have fully successfully been organised so far, namely:
- SAFER EURORO II Workshop, September 17-18, 2002, London;
- SAFER-EURORO II Workshop, January 30, 2003, Delft;
- SAFER-EURORO
II Workshop, May 9, 2003, Athens.
The workshops aroused much interest in the TN activities and furthered a safety culture in the maritime profession by enhancing the safety level of ships and reducing the time and resources spent in the design phase. deriving from the unprecedented R&D effort invested on safety through this Thematic Network on "Design for Safety".
The next SAFER EURORO II Workshop (Midterm Workshop) is planned for January 29-30, 2004, to be hosted by Fincantieri at Trieste.
