In March, Colombia and PIARC Committee 4.4 on Tunnels organised a much awaited event: the World Road Tunnels Seminar, which took place in Medellin (Colombia) on March 29- April 1st, 2022. It was attended by the PIARC president, Nazir Alli, and the Secretary General, Patrick Mallejacq, who could meet colleagues from co-organisers National Road Institute (INVIAS), Colombia Society of Engineers (SCI) and the Association of Tunnels (ACTOS). With this hybrid event,more than 1,000 attendees (in person and online) were able to learn all about the latest developments in tunnelling in Colombia and in the world. This seminar is a landmark event because it signals the development of Colombia’s involvement in PIARC. Since this is the 2nd most populated Spanish-speaking country in the world, and the 4th largest country in Latin America, there is much to look forward to! April and May will be full of seminars and workshops all over the world. Mark these dates! >> Find them all in our calendar
