25.02.2026. CIECA was pleased to present the CIECA Award for the Most Active Member 2025 to Dr. Mark Tant, Deputy Chairman of the CIECA Fit-to-Drive Group, representing our member organisation the Vias institute (Belgium), during the Fit-to-Drive workshop held in Dublin on 20 February 2026.
Although the official ceremony traditionally takes place during the annual Congress, this year’s laureate will be unable to attend the Congress in Dresden in May. The award was therefore presented in Dublin, with a recording of the ceremony to be shown at the Congress.
The Most Active Member Award is regarded as one of CIECA’s highest honours. Bestowed directly by the CIECA Permanent Bureau, it recognises exceptional commitment and significant contributions to CIECA’s work and to the advancement of road safety.
Dr. Tant has been a long-standing and highly dedicated contributor to the Fit-to-Drive Group. He has played a key role in several major CIECA reports, represented CIECA in discussions with the European Commission in preparation for the Fourth Driving Licence Directive, and contributed to CIECA’s recommendations on the Driving Licences Directive submitted to the European Parliament in 2023. He has also supported the CIECA Congress programme by reviewing Fit-to-Drive papers for three consecutive years.
CIECA warmly congratulates Dr. Mark Tant on this well-deserved recognition and thanks him for his outstanding dedication to safer mobility.
