From March 25 to March 27, 2026, the Spring School of the Erasmus+ project “EuroS@P” will take place in Weimar. The topic of the three-day English-language training course is the safety analysis of road networks.

The EuroS@P Spring School 2026 offers an intensive three-day training programme on modern road infrastructure safety management and network-wide road safety assessments. Participants gain theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience through lectures, practical exercises, and discussions with leading European experts. The course covers road infrastructure safety management principles, accident data analysis, reactive and proactive approaches, accident-based network safety analysis, road network segmentation, hazardous section identification, and risk assessment.

The course integrates proactive and reactive safety approaches and presents established European practices, such as the German Network-Wide Road Safety Assessment (ESN) approach. Interactive discussions, workshops, and feedback sessions foster knowledge exchange and professional networking among participants. By the end of the Spring School, participants have a solid methodological foundation and practical insight to support road safety planning, implementation, and evaluation at network level.
