What is it?
AfroSAFE Academy is a network of engaged scholars and practitioners with a joint mission to advance research and education in traffic safety with particular focus on the African context. AfroSAFE Academy provides a platform to exchange knowledge and experiences, share educational materials, and stimulate research and teaching collaborations.
It was decided to partner up with the ICTCT association forming a sub-committee to ensure the existence and continued activities of the AfroSAFE Academy network even after the formal closure of the AfroSAFE project and financing related to that.
What do we do?
AfroSAFE Academy activities focus on:
- Networking—creating opportunities for academics and practitioners to jointly discuss traffic safety issues, exchange knowledge and opinions
- Scientific events—organizing webinars, conferences, training courses, etc.
- Scientific publications—promoting research publications based on the African context
- Funding—collecting and keeping an updated list of research funding opportunities
- Education—compilation of high-quality teaching materials sufficient to initiate a new (or update an existing) university course on traffic safety
- Empowering researchers—making research career attractive and researchers’ voice heard by the politicians and decision makers.
