The link between road safety policy and research

The first webinar of AfroSAFE Academy will take place on 10 November 2023. The honoured speaker is Henk Stipdonk, the director of the Netherlands Institute for Transport Policy Analysis (KiM).

Many effective and lasting road safety improvements are made through long term governmental policy changes. For scientific research to actually contribute to road safety improvement, a tight link between research and policy making is imperative. 

This is especially challenging in African countries and other LMIC, where the implementation of a science based safe system approach is often not yet established in road safety policy making.

The lecture tells you why, and how such a link may be established and maintained. If possible, examples from LMIC scientific findings will be interactively used for illustration.
