Following the success of the first Delft Road Safety Course for low and middle-income countries, the 2013 course is to be held in Delft in the Netherlands from 15 to 29 September 2013.
The course is a joint initiative of Delft University of Technology, the Post Graduate Education (PAO) and the Road Safety for All Foundation and focuses on educating professionals in the field of road safety in low and middle-income countries. The SWOV Institute for Road Safety Research joins this initiative in 2013. Professor Fred Wegman of TU Delft and SWOV is course coordinator and course leader, aided by lecturers from universities and institutes in the Netherlands and other countries.
The course programme provides insight into the organisational and technical aspects of road safety. In addition, an alumni network forms a permanent platform for participants and teachers to exchange ideas and knowledge.
In order to maximise the effects, the course focuses on educating road safety professionals, who will become teachers or trainers, or are otherwise involved in the management of road safety or in research. Participants are encouraged and taught to start courses in their own countries.
The course has attracted the attention of a number of international organisations including the1819 World Health Organisation, the 2000 World Bank and Regional Banks, the FIA Foundation, the Global Road Safety Partnership and the Road Safety Fund. In addition to high praise from previous participants, the interest of such organisations reinforces the objective of organising the course as a yearly event.
In 2012, some participants were offered scholarships by organisations such as the Road Safety Fund (WHO and FIA Foundation) and businesses such as1679 Gatso, 6594 Goudappel Coffeng. Similar scholarships are anticipated for the 2013 course.
