The annual 3M R&D conference is the place for sharing knowledge and developing of new ideas for better and safer workplaces. Scientists from universities, research institutes, R&D teams meet governmental decision makers, industrial experts, trade unions or end-users.

The conference is organized in collaboration with Ministry of Technology, President of Wrocław, Labour Inspectorate, Institute of Occupational Medicine, Employers of Poland, BSI Group. Year by year one main topic has been selected. This year we will celebrate the International Year of Sound 2020 and the main topic of 5th conference will be focused on “Safe and more efficient communication in noisy environment”.

We will discuss about hearing losses and speech intelligibility in noisy environment and the most important obstacles in broad implementation of communication systems. Panelists will try to find the ways of mitigating a negative impact of noise on health with more efficient communication. They will also present the newest trends and innovative technologies that help manage communication in noisy environment. All information will be completed by hands-on sessions and presentations.
