From
the beginning, this group devoted itself to several missions
which have been pursued throughout the years. These missions
may be summarized as follows:
To
encourage research on impact biomechanics and injury mechanisms.
To provide a forum for the presentation and dissemination
of these research findings.
To serve as an advisory body on issues relating to impact
biomechanics and injury mechanisms.
To foster and encourage young researchers in the field.
To improve the scientific basis on which safety and crashworthiness
standards are formulated.
