acatech HORIZONS topics

Safety and security – essential basic needs that we often only think about when we feel threatened. In a world full of new technologies, ongoing digitalisation and global crises, the topic is becoming increasingly important– not just in the world of politics but also in our everyday life. Safety and security impact us on many levels, be it in traffic, in our food systems, at work or in foreign policy.

But what do these two terms really mean? How can such a subjective topic be scientifically and rationally analysed? Which areas of life are affected, and how? And above all, how can we guarantee safety and security at all levels not just now but in the future too? acatech HORIZONS Safety & Security addresses all these questions and offers fascinating insights into this important topic.
