New mobility concepts, intermodality of transport and autonomous driving will influence the design and use of CRS and require continuous consumer information/education through safety campaigns. This will be one of the focal points of this year‘s conference.
As an international forum for child safety, the 19th International Conference will provide an overview of trends in safety regulations, of recent research results, product development and testing/rating procedures, taking into account the needs and trends not only in industrialized countries but globally.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to hold the conference on-site at TÜV SÜD in Munich again this year. However, we will hold a web conference to maintain the exchange of experience between child safety experts. On the three conference days in the afternoon (CET) we offer sessions with presentations and discussions between speakers, chairpersons and the participants.

The conference "Protection of Children in Cars" was initiated by Professor Dr. Klaus Langwieder and shaped and influenced over decades. Klaus Langwieder passed away on November 22, 2020, and it is in his memory that we are continuing the conference, to him who placed the safety of car occupants at the center of his work. Professor Dr. Klaus Langwieder, recipient of the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany, Professor of Vehicle Safety, studied mechanical engineering in Munich and was head of the Vehicle Safety Department at the German Insurance Association (GDV) for many years. Child safety in vehicles was always particularly close to his heart. He analyzed accident data, initiated numerous ambitious research projects to gain a deeper understanding of this data, and he was very successful in his efforts to use this knowledge in expert circles and legislative groups for better protection of children as occupants. For example, he was deeply involved in the successful international standardization of ISOFIX, the introduction of side impact requirements and the optimization of the usability of child seats. Early on, he recognized the need for improved and new regulatory standards for child seats and, in addition to his great expertise, he also used his human empathy and communication skills to achieve these important goals at the international level. |
