Seven years on, there are now ten partners involved and an number of projects have been run. Currently, two joint projects are ongoing, a number of proposals are waiting for approval and the team prepares the strategy for the coming third phase of the centre. The seminar will give an overview of the joint work as well as the plans ahead.

Sweden / India multi-stakeholder innovation and road safety collaboration
Speaker: John-Fredrik Grönvall, Area manager FOT/NDS, SAFER
India is facing tremendous challenges in road safety, sustainable transport and societal transformation. Every year more than 150,000 people officially die in road traffic in India, with estimates by WHO that the true number could be up to 300,000.  The vulnerable road users account for approximately 50% of the fatalities Sweden and India have therefore signed a bilateral cooperation agreement in April 2018, which aims to stimulate collaboration in several areas of innovation.

During 2020, the partners in the Sweden/India collaboration will start the first pilot project. This project aims to develop a ideas that support the long-term vision, to:
• Create a platform for applied research and innovation in the area of safe, secure and sustainable transports and smart cities.
• Be a showcase of concrete bilateral collaboration that fosters innovation and business growth in Sweden and India.
• Provide recommendations and know-how for national and international transport policy making.
• Support India to take leaps in development of its transport system towards fulfillment of policy targets by implementing state of the art transport solutions with high safety/cost benefits.
