SATSIE will contribute to European economic development and to the EU policies aiming at sustainable development by creating tools for increasing public safety in avalanche-prone areas. An adequate level of avalanche safety is prerequisite to further development of the mountain regions as habitable areas, prime destinations of tourism, and the critical segments of some of the most important European traffic routes. It is vital to perform this work at a European scale in order to share know-how and make maximum use of the large cost of operating full-scale experimental sites.
