keynote speakers, 150 exhibitors, over 5,000 delegates from 145 countries. They
were treated to a programme of 75 sessions and workshops, 500 oral
presentations, 243 posters. The Final Proceedings of the Congress are presented
as a very comprehensive website, which contains the general report of the
Congress, the Congress programme, introductory reports and conclusions of the
sessions, individual papers selected by the Technical Committees and Task
Forces from the proposals received to the call for papers, national reports
produced by PIARC member countries… On behalf of the Association, I would like
to thank all those who have made such a success of this Congress [...] >> Read more

The American
Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) - PIARC’s
USA National Committee – produced a video which highlights the international
collaboration made possible by PIARC. In this video you will hear from
enthusiastic experts in the areas of safety, highway construction,
engineering, and freight about the professional and personal rewards they
have gained by participating in PIARC, including the possibility to meet some
of the top experts in the world, to share information and experiences and to
learn from each other. This video was made in January 2020 when AASHTO and
the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) met to introduce USA experts to the
work of PIARC and how the Technical Committees operate.
