Senior Road Executives Programme 2010
Birmingham, UK, 12 April 2010 - 24 April 2010
Registration is now closed
For over fifteen years, the Senior Road Executive Programme has
provided continuing professional development for those working in the
road sector and by so doing, contributed to the dissemination of
knowledge and expertise throughout the world. The Programme is designed
to advance the global understanding, through an inter-disciplinary
approach, of the most pressing issues facing the road sector by
providing a unique forum for debate and discussion with experts and
fellow delegates, enabling managerial and technical concepts to be
easily grasped.
The Programme, run by the University of Birmingham in
association with the International Road Federation (IRF), consists of
four linked, 3 days, intensive residential courses delivered by experts
of international repute. The courses address the main building-blocks
which are vital for roads to be sustainable, namely:
- establishing responsibility through regulatory and institutional reform,
- providing adequate, stable and continuous financing,
- introducing appropriate enforcement, educational and traffic engineering measures to improve road safety, and
- applying fundamental asset management principles and appropriate technology for road maintenance.
New Programme:
- Road Sector Reform (12th April – 14th April 2010)
- Road Finance (15th April – 17th April 2010)
- Road Safety (19th April – 21st April 2010)
- Road Maintenance Management (22nd April – 24th April 2010)
The four professional development courses are specifically designed for senior road executives, members of roads boards, government officials dealing with the road sector, staff from international donor organisations, and consultants working on the road sector.
The SRE Programme 2010 provides an opportunity to interact with senior road managers from other countries, staff from donor organisations, members of consulting firms and staff involved in restructuring road management and finance.
Examples presented during the course include good practice from many countries, such as France, Ghana, Latvia, Brazil, Namibia, New Zealand, Romania, South Africa, Sweden, UK, USA, Nepal, and Zambia.
The SRE Programme 2010 is a unique occasion for assessing progress and defining future actions to promote better and more sustainable roads throughout the world.
All delegates attending all four modules will be awarded the IRF 's prestigious "Certificate in Sustainable Road Management".
The SRE Programme is recognised by:
- The World Bank
- UK Department for International Development
- International Road Federation
