Arystan Massanov, Director of Kazakh Scientific Research Institute for Road Safety LLP (KazSRIRS) and a member of the International Road Federation (IRF) Road Safety Technical Committee, took part in the IRF Fellows Reunion Reception held on 13 January 2026 in Washington, D.C. (USA).
The event brought together members of the IRF Fellows community - leading international experts and professionals in road infrastructure, transport policy and road safety. The meeting provided a valuable platform for informal yet substantive professional exchange, sharing experience and discussing current global trends and challenges in the development of the road sector.
Taking part in the IRF Fellows Reunion made it possible to discuss modern systemic and risk-based approaches to improving road safety, the development of sustainable and safe road infrastructure, and the integration of science-based solutions into road safety management practice. Particular attention was paid to the role of international expert communities and technical committees in shaping road safety recommendations and standards.
KazSRIRS regards its participation in IRF events and the work of its representatives on the Federation's technical committees as an important element of international cooperation aimed at knowledge transfer, adapting global best practice and making road safety decisions in the Republic of Kazakhstan more effective.
