The course is aimed at participants who have at least an academic master degree and who work in a research group, research institute, higher education institute, international organisation, the government sector or a non-governmental organisation in Africa, Asia or Latin America. Their job should consist of preparatory work for policy-making and its implementation in road safety or research into relevant issues. 

In general it would be beneficial if at least 2 people from the same country participate in this course. After the course, the participants can continue to collaborate and support each other in improving road safety in their home country.
