The SOTERIA project invites you to register for the upcoming stakeholder validation workshop, which will refine policy recommendations for deploying innovative measures to improve the road safety of vulnerable road users (VRUs) in European cities.
Taking place on Friday, 5 December 2025, from 10:00 to 12:00 (CEST), the workshop is the second in our series and will build on insights gathered during the project’s first workshop in May. Participants will help identify concrete policy actions that will feed into SOTERIA’s final set of recommendations.
