- Energy (mining, electricity and heat generation, waste treatment)
- Transportation (earth-bound, air, sea)
- Production (chemical/mechanical processes, automation)
- ICT (information and communication technology)

In recognition of the fact that the "Safety of modern technical systems" depends on the successful interdisciplinary co-operation of experts, safety issues out of the above mentioned fields of technology will be treated from five different academic points of view:
- Engineering and natural sciences
- Medicine/Psychology/Sociology
- Philosophy/Theology
- Legal Aspects
- Business Administration/Management
The results of the congress will be given to the public as a "Saarbruecken Declaration onTechnical Safety". The world congress "Safety of modern technical systems" will be useful to all persons:
- working in relevant academic disciplines
- responsible for legislation or administrative enforcement of technical safety
- with management responsibilities for technical safety in private industry or in the public sector
