In May 2022, we launched a call for papers for the next World Road Congress to be held in Prague, Czech Republic, from 2 to 6 October 2023. The call for papers closed on 15 September and we are delighted with the number of contributions received!

In total, we collected 740 abstracts with participation from about 80 countries! Special congratulations and thanks go to the Czech Republic for submitting over 80 abstracts, followed closely by Japan, France, Spain and Italy. We are also pleased to have received so many contributions from Indonesia, Ivory Coast, Colombia, Iran and Burkina Faso. These results highlight the general interest of experts from all over the world in the 49 very diverse topics of the call, and undoubtedly promise some very interesting technical sessions for the Congress. Save the date for what will certainly be an intense event!
