We are proud to launch SAFER’s first annual report in Stage 6, reflecting on a year of renewal, deeper collaboration, and a sharpened focus on the future of traffic safety research. 2024 marked the beginning of a new and exciting chapter for our community – with strategic shifts and fresh ways of working.

Some of the highlights from the year include:

• The launch of the SAFER Idea Exploration Program, broadening the scope of our exploratory work and encouraging bold, innovative thinking. Seven new projects were initiated through this program.
• The formation of our new working groups – dynamic, inclusive communities of practice focused on specific safety topics. The outcomes so far show the power of collective expertise.
• The introduction of SAFER Research Days, a series of mini-conferences that brought our network together around key themes – creating valuable spaces for learning, exchange, and inspiration.
• An enhanced facilitation process, enabling us to capture and act on partners’ research and knowledge-building needs identified across the network.

You will find these stories and many more in the report, along with inspiring examples of projects and people driving progress towards a safer road transport system for all.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to SAFER’s development during 2024!
