Learning Laboratories in Human Factors and System Safety
Our understanding of accidents, risk and safety is changing. We no
longer see human error as cause, but as a symptom. We recognize the
exciting possibilities of systems thinking for accident analysis and
organizational improvement. We are shifting from reliability to
resilience and the enhancement of adaptive capacity. We look for new
relationships between stakeholders to create forms of accountability
that do not harm safety.
Our Learning Laboratories are for
professionals and practitioners who want to expand their knowledge and
practical skills for the safety challenges of the twenty-first century.
They offer you the latest thinking in the new view of human factors,
accountability, accident models, and resilience engineering. The
Learning Laboratories are intimately connected with the dynamic research
base of the Lund University Center for Complexity and Systems Thinking.
Each
Learning Laboratory is conducted during three or four intensive days at
Lund University in Sweden. You and your co-participants develop new
knowledge and skills through lectures, case material, exercises, group
discussions and even extramural interactions. As active participant, you
play a role in what you get out of each Learning Laboratory, where you
will learn how to see and debate the various viewpoints on difficult
topics in safety and human factors. You will be in the company of people
with similar experiences and concerns, enriching your learning
experience considerably.

Laboratory cost and entry requirements
There are no specific
entry requirements for a Learning Laboratory, except a genuine interest
in the topic under consideration and the ability to contribute with
questions and examples from your own experience or industry.
Participation
costs €950,- (plus VAT where applicable) for each Learning Laboratory.
This does not include cost for the books that we may recommend you to
read, nor the cost of travel or accommodation.
Swedish law
does not allow students to pay for their own education, so we will need
information from your employer or other applicable sponsor for your
participation in the Learning Laboratory.
You will be
awarded a Testimonium upon completion.
If you want to
participate, please write to us why you would want to join. Tell us what
you hope to get out of the Lab and what you believe you can contribute.
