This Congress is organized in close cooperation between PIARC (World Road Association), responsible for the content of the programme, and the Czech Local Organizing Committee (chaired by the President of the Czech Road Society and co-chaired by the First Delegate of the Czech Republic to PIARC, who is a representative of the Ministry of Transport of the Czech Republic), responsible for the material organization of this Congress on behalf of the Czech Republic.

This website presents the pre- proceedings of the Congress. It contains:

• The Congress programme, including the technical programme of each session,
• National reports produced by PIARC Member Countries for the Strategic Direction Sessions,
• Individual communications selected by the Technical Committees and Task Forces from among the proposals received following the Call for Communications.

The Czech Local Organising Committee prepared a separate official website, which contains important additional information: technical visits, accompanying persons’ programme, accommodation, etc.

• www.wrc2023prague.org

This information will help you develop your own program for the Congress, and will provide you with an overview of the topics that will be presented and discussed during the various sessions.

The final proceedings will be produced after the Congress and will be made available to all registered participants.

I look forward to seeing you soon in Prague.
