In order to spread information and experience on the Vision Zero approach, we have initiated a week-long international course. The 2026 edition of the Vision Zero International Course will take place on 21-25 September in Gothenburg, Sweden.
For the eighth time we are now offering the Vision Zero International Course. During the course, interesting lectures will be mixed with study visits and field trips to clearly exemplify the Swedish model. At the end of the course the participants will receive a diploma as proof of participation.
Course goals
After the course the participants will have gained a deep understanding of Vision Zero as a policy innovation and how it can affect working methods, as well as how a safe road transport system can be created. Participants will also receive a platform for the understanding of how to continue the work with road safety issues in their respective countries.

The course is targeted to a broad audience, and it is highly relevant to anyone who works on road safety in for example government authorities, industry, NGOs, municipalities, the police and academia, as well as experts within UN authorities, development banks, and other international organisations. To allow for questions, interaction, and discussion, participation is limited to 25 participants.
