Nordic Traffic Safety Academy (NTSA) is a Nordic forum where academics meet to exchange information and experience in research and education. The NTSA was established by 13 academics from 7 Nordic universities and 2 research centres at its first meeting in Lund on May 18th 2011.

The first General Meeting decided that the aims of the NTSA would be “to promote scientific discussion within the road traffic safety society on a multidisciplinary base and to enhance the scientific aspect and status of road traffic safety as an academic discipline”.
