The program 2011 confirms the increasing role of this worldwide platform for CRS research and development, for child accident research, biomechanics, for rulemaking, safety testing, for consumer information, NCAP activities and safety campaigns. New countries submitted scientific studies and field observations and the participation of more than 25 countries from all continents is to be expected.

The progress in important key subjects of child safety will be discussed covering the new ECE regulation, new test tools/dummies and test procedures, especially side impact. Special focus is given to accident data, the continuing problem of misuse and to new developments of human models.
