Saracakis Group of Companies in cooperation with NTUA and the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport are organizing a Workshop on Safe Driving Behavior Courses, which will be held in Athens, on 12 November 2025. This Ιnitiative aims to educate the participants on safe driving, reduce serious traffic accidents and fatalities and save the lives of young people. National road safety experts and driver safety instructors will comment on the issue .

The NTUA Road Safety Observatory won the Excellence in Road Safety Award of the the European Commission – People’s Choice – on 16 October 2025 in Brussels, in recognition for the great impact of the NRSO Campaign promoting 30km/h city-wide speed limits as the key policy for safer, healthier and greener cities. NTUA Prof. George Yannis mentioned that “Robust scientific evidence demonstrates that slower traffic can save thousands of lives in Europe, especially those of pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists and at NTUA we are excited to contribute with all our efforts and with our 30 Marathons campaign and see more and more cities and countries in Europe adopting the 30km/h city-wide speed limits“ .

The International Traffic Safety Data and Analysis Group (IRTAD) of the International Transport Forum (ITF/OECD) and NTUA are co-organizing the 8th IRTAD International Conference: Better Road Safety Data for Better Safety Performance which will be held in Athens, Greece, on 15-17 April 2026. The objectives of the Conference are to discuss improvements in the quality of data systems and data analysis in IRTAD and other countries by fostering knowledge transfer among participants, with particular emphasis on road safety performance. The Conference is open to all and is primarily for the attention of road safety researchers, data analysts, those involved in collecting safety data and developing databases, and all those using the results of research to advise decision makers on road safety matters. Researchers can submit their abstracts until 30 September 2025.  

The Institute of Communications & Computer Systems (ICCS) together with International Road Federation (IRF) and several other Organizations, organized with great success the International Symposium Navigating the Future of Traffic Management in Athens, from June 29th to July 3rd 2025. This Conference focused on four thematic tracks: digitalization in traffic management, sustainable mobility strategies, integrated infrastructure systems, and road safety innovations. These tracks aimed to address the complex challenges of modern traffic management and offer actionable insights for a safer and more efficient transportation future.  NTUA actively contributed with several papers, posters and presentations

The works of upgrating the traffic signs of the road network of NTUA Zografou campus have been completed. A total of 565 regulatory signs of various sizes, 256 new galvanized metal poles, 5 convex mirrors and 150 bollards were installed.

Particulary important is the adoption of 30 km/h speed limit on the entire road network of the NTUA Zografou campus, which will be even stricter around the central squares (20km/h).

The Rectorate of NTUA expressed special thanks to the staff of the Departement of Transportation Planning and Engineering and Prof. George Yannis, Head of the Department for the preparation of the relevant Traffic Study, as well as to all the staff of the Technical Service who who contributed for the implementation of the project.
