20 September 2007 - Expert Day

The Expert Days gave an opportunity to experience the next steps in the advancement of active & preventive safety applications. 

While the vehicles are running on the test tracks, a large exhibition village gathered all PReVENT subprojects in one single showcase and provide the perfect opportunity to meet the masterminds behind the PReVENT findings.

The PReVENT  technical achievements were presented in a thematic conference with technical presentations and discussion panels involving the most active experts in the field.
