Conference

Welcome

Welcome to the International Cycling Safety Conference (ICSC) 2025, taking place in Oslo, Norway, from 4–6 November 2025. Since 2012, ICSC has been a forum for scientists and experts whose scientific and practical activities are aimed at making cycling safer. It has offered the opportunity for exchange and discussion, for getting to meet old friends and new collaborators. Over the years, hundreds of contributions have addressed novel research questions and presented innovative practical solutions dedicated to the improvement of cycling safety.

Under the theme “Knowledge for Prevention,” this year’s conference will focus on how evidence-based insights can be translated into effective policies, infrastructure design, and technological innovations to enhance cyclist safety worldwide.

ICSC 2025 is hosted by the Institute of Transport Economics (TØI), Norway’s leading research institute in transport and mobility. Founded in 1964, TØI is an independent, interdisciplinary research institute specializing in transport safety, mobility, sustainability, and technology. The institute conducts applied research to support evidence-based decision-making, collaborating with government agencies, private industry, and international partners to develop safer and more efficient transport solutions.

TØI has a strong focus on cycling safety, with numerous studies on cyclist behaviour, infrastructure design, crash analysis, and policy development. By hosting ICSC 2025, TØI aims to promote international dialogue, exchange new research findings, and contribute to safer cycling environments worldwide.

We look forward to welcoming you to Oslo for an inspiring exchange of knowledge and ideas!

Venue

Address: Øvre Slottsgate 3, 0157 Oslo

The conference will be held at Sentralen, a historic yet modern space in downtown Oslo, known for its dynamic atmosphere and excellent facilities. Originally a bank building, Sentralen has been transformed into a hub for cultural and social innovation.

Oslo, ranked among the world’s most bike-friendly cities, provides an inspiring backdrop for ICSC 2025. With its extensive cycling infrastructure, ongoing safety initiatives, and commitment to sustainable mobility, the city offers an ideal environment for discussing the latest advancements in cycling safety research and practice.
