Title

ICP - International Course Programme (Master of Transportation Sciences) (Education)

Abstract

In this ICP we propose a multidisciplinary master programme with a unique focus and approach to road safety in developing countries. Road safety in this programme is approached as a cross-border field, incorporating elements of psychology, economy, urban planning, environmental studies, engineering and more. The ICP scholarships and incremental funding offer us the opportunity to further strengthen the orientation of the programme towards the context of developing countries. The aim of the ICP is to form engaged students with the capacity to effectively develop, implement and evaluate a road safety policy in a development context. And in addition - and within the folds of the Road Safety in Developing Countries network - to support the alumni by creating a climate of awareness and employability with various stake-holders in their home countries and to develop new joint initiatives for sustainability of the ICP. Finally a Network of Excellence (NoE) will be established in Vietnam to realize the transfer of knowledge and expertise in a local context in the South.
