Project

Policy Research Centre for Traffic Safety 2012-2016 (R-3792)

Within the policy research centres structural financing for policy-relevant research is foreseen in fields and/or subjects which are a priority for the Flemish government. The principal assignment of a policy research centre is to carry out research assignments aimed at problems relevant to policy. By means of the policy research centres one whishes to collect and/or build a critical mass in a number of carefully chosen sectors in order to create a certain degree of stability within a clearly fixed contractual framework. For the third time in a row financing is foreseen for a policy research centre in the field of 'Traffic Safety'. And for the third time in a row, IMOB of Hasselt University wil coördinate this centre. This policy research centre will be carried by a consortium of partners where besides UHasselt (IMOB), also the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (research groups SADL, ETE and CIB) and the Flemish Institution for Technological Research (VITO) will be part of.
