The focus in the intensification phase is on network management, for which the foundation stone was already laid in the start-up phase. In recent years, SAFIR has developed from occasional cooperation with individual partners into intensive application-oriented cooperation with a wide range of partners from industry, science and politics in the field of vehicle safety. The successful development of SAFIR is to be continued, in particular through network management, and the basis for a sustainable continuation after the intensification phase is created.
For this purpose, it is planned to intensify the cooperation with existing partners on the one hand, and on the other hand to develop new partnerships and funding sources within and outside the university. The main plan is to anchor the SAFIR network in a strongly decentralized manner in the two IN institutes CARISSMA and IIMO as well as the AN institutes AININ and Fraunhofer. In order to bundle competences and to use synergies, the exchange of experience with other strategic university projects such as "Mensch in Bewegung" and in particular the Brazil and Latin America network AWARE will be cultivated. In the area of innovation management, close networking is planned with the Center of Entrepreneurship (CoE) at THI, where start-up projects in particular are initiated and promoted as part of the EXIST potentials funding line in the "TH-INspire" project.
