On 27 and 28 May 2026, EUROSHNET, the European Occupational Safety and Health Network, will host the 9th European conference on standardization, testing and certification in the field of occupational safety and health in Helsinki, Finland, under the heading: Digital and green innovations – Shaping the future of occupational safety and health.

The impact of climate change presents the occupational safety and health community with major challenges, and requires new approaches in many areas to ensure that safe working conditions can continue to be maintained. At the same time, companies are increasingly making use of new digital technologies. These open up opportunities for innovative developments, but must also always take account of occupational safety and health concerns.

The EUROSHNET conference brings experts from across Europe together to discuss how standardisation, testing and certification need to be developed further to meet this new reality. In addition to numerous papers on the topic, the event offers an excellent opportunity for networking with colleagues from EU institutions, occupational safety and health organisations, testing and certification bodies, companies, the social partners and standardisation organisations from throughout Europe.

The deadline for registration is 11 May 2026. Proposals for the accompanying poster exhibition can be submitted up until 17 April 2026.
