HOW THE OSH FORUM WORKS

How the OSH Forum works

The international collaborative dynamic of the OSH Forum is based on the action of two complementary groups :

on the one hand, the “Experts” who are members of the International Thematic Working Groups (IWGs)
on the other hand, Member “Organisations” that support the development of the OSH Forum and are invited to endorse the recommendations proposed by the IWG experts.

The Experts

Experts engaged in the International Working Groups may be academics involved in research, practitioners working on the implementation of operational programmes or public policy professionals. The objective is to bring together experts from different disciplines to share knowledge, practices and regulations ensuring that operational adaptations are made to meet health, environmental and social challenges, as set out in the various work themes.

Experts are invited to share their knowledge and practice, first and foremost on an individual basis, without necessarily expressing the positions of their organisation. This will allow the experts to take a step back from existing actions and to project themselves to 2030 with innovative transdisciplinary approaches.

Member Organisations

The ” Member Organisations Committee ” meets every 3 weeks for an update on the IWGs activities, upcoming events and the introduction of new members. Member Organisations are invited to react to the recommendations from the various IWGs, validated by the Scientific Council, and to endorse them to collectively provide guidance in terms of operational practices and advocacy.

Interaction between Experts and Member Organisations
