Conferences/seminars.Professional development

During these overseas experiences and our visits to different countries, I had the opportunity to discuss road safety development with local professionals and consultants. There I also had the opportunities to attend various conferences, seminars and workshops and to hsten to experts from different countries. This was a rewarding learning experience, which was especially meaningful for me in terms of future contacts. There were always questions raised during this work, for instance, how do we define and measure road safety development in a country How do we determine the progress this country has achieved How do we estabhsh targets for road safety improvement in a country Until now, there is no simple answer to these questions. This has inspired me to develop sets of macro-indicators that can be used as appropriate benchmarks to compare the performance of different countries. I started to use previous results of the projects as a point of departure, in order to build a model from the conclusions drawn.
