The strategic objective of the NEW OSH ERA is to create a research and innovation market by systematic exchange of information and stepwise integration of research programmes in EU through several instruments improving collaboration between programmes and utilizing electronic databases by evaluation and benchmarking. The goal is to promote cooperation in joint research activities in OSH research. The focus of these programme activities is on: 1) Complex interactions between work environments, work organizations of work and stress factors; 2) New and emerging risks in different industry sectors; 3) Incorporation of innovative approaches in research programme; 4) Developing of broad coalitions to promote sustainable research collaboration.
