Dear colleagues and
friends,
The first word that

Allow me to add two
more words, which I believe reflect the values and missions of our Association:
"Exchange":
Face-to-face meetings remain constrained by the pandemic, but we continue to
share knowledge, for example through the PIARC webinars. The last one to date,
on July 29th, brought together nearly 250 participants. Note the next PIARC

22 Technical Committees and Task Forces are at the heart of our activities.
They will be holding their working meetings in the fourth quarter: these will
be held by videoconference, and will enable them to advance their discussions

and recommendations on the topics identified by our Strategic Plan [...] >> Read more
