Panel: How Can We Bring Together Behavioural Change and Innovation to Improve Safety?
12:00 - 12:40
Behaviour Change
- Behaviour Change Science: the scientific foundation of behaviour change will be highlighted, stressing the importance of applying theories, approaches, and logic models to drive effective road safety interventions.
- Purposeful Innovation: the need to avoid pursuing innovation solely for the sake of innovation will be underscored.
- Collaborative Potential: the significant potential in collaborative efforts and knowledge-sharing will be explored as an important component for driving innovation and enhancing road safety outcomes.
- Scientific Design and Evaluation: the critical role of rigorous scientific design and evaluation in ensuring that interventions lead to the desired behaviour change.
- Professionalisation of the Sector: the importance of professionalising the road safety sector to ensure behaviour change approaches improve safety.
