Webinar series: ‘How to conduct and publish excellent research on traffic safety’
Have you ever wondered why some research papers are a pleasure to read, while others—far too many—feel like uninspired by-products of today's ‘publish or perish’ culture?
At Traffic Safety Research (TSR), our editorial team is committed to publishing the former: research that is engaging, meaningful, and impactful. As researchers and authors, we believe you share that goal. But what sets excellent research apart? And how can you plan for success from the very beginning?
To help answer these questions, the TSR is launching a new webinar series: ‘How to conduct and publish excellent research on traffic safety’. In this series, we invite leading experts in the field to share their insights, experiences, and advice on what makes research truly valuable—and how to turn it into outstanding publications.
Upcoming speaker
Henk Stipdonk is chair of the Delft Road Safety Courses, partner at RoadSafetyforAll, co-chair of the ETSC PIN-panel and Chief Science Officer at VIA software solutions. With RoadSafetyforAll, he co-initiated KARSIP, an organisation-in-formation aiming for sustainable road safety knowledge infrastructures in LMIC.
In 2024, Henk retired from The Netherlands Knowledge Institute for transport policy analysis (KiM), where he served as the Director since 2019. At KiM, he experienced the importance of zipping research to policy making.
Between 2004 and 2019, Henk was a research manager at the Institute for Scientific Road Safety Research SWOV. His department focused on quantitative analyses, data quality, in-depth crash research, and the development of models describing the annual numbers of road deaths trends.
Henk's international work includes visits to Cambodia, Kenia, Ghana, Cameroon, and many European countries, where he gave lectures and contributed to road safety courses. Between 2020 and 2024 he was chair of the ITF Working Group on Implementing the Safe System Approach.
