In the consequent period, Stefán started consulting and researching activities in the field of risk and vulnerability within several occupational domains. He has been involved in several projects on fire safety, the safety of seaman, of the touristic industry, in mountain operations and many projects in traffic safety.

For this endeavor, he hoped to secure the involvement of high quality specialists from the Scandinavian countries, Germany and USA.
