The International Traffic Safety Data and Analysis Group (IRTAD) of the International Transport Forum (ITF/OECD) and National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) are co-organizing the 8th IRTAD International Conference, titled “Better Road Safety Data for Better Safety Performance” which will be held in Athens, Greece, on 15-17 April 2026.

The objectives of the Conference are to discuss improvements in the quality of data systems and data analysis in IRTAD and other countries by fostering knowledge transfer among participants, with particular emphasis on road safety performance. The Conference is open to all and is primarily for the attention of road safety researchers, data analysts, those involved in collecting safety data and developing databases, and all those using the results of research to advise decision makers on road safety matters.

Researchers can submit their abstracts until 15 October 2025.

FERSI is pleased to announce its participation as a sponsor in the “ESRA 10 years event” scheduled for June 24, 2025 at the Belgian Federal Public Service Mobility & Transport (Brussels, Belgium).

Over the past ten years, ESRA has provided invaluable insights into road users’ attitudes and behaviours, shaping policies and initiatives worldwide.

This event is a unique opportunity to reflect on the evolution of the ESRA initiative and its impact on road safety policy. Key findings from 10 years of research will be presented, unveiling a dedicated report and the new ESRA dashboard, and exploring how these insights can drive future improvements in road safety. Furthermore, ESRA4, the next phase in our mission to create safer roads through data-driven strategies, will be introduced.

The International Cycling Safety Conference (ICSC) 2025 will take place in Oslo (Norway) from 4 to 6 November 2025. 

Under the theme “Knowledge for Prevention,” this year’s conference will focus on how evidence-based insights can be translated into effective policies, infrastructure design, and technological innovations to enhance cyclist safety worldwide.

ICSC 2025 is hosted by the Institute of Transport Economics (TØI), Norway’s leading research institute in transport and mobility which conducts applied research to support evidence-based decision-making, collaborating with government agencies, private industry, and international partners to develop safer and more efficient transport solutions.
