Proceedings of World Road Congresses and International Winter Road Congresses

PIARC organizes two series of Congresses - the World Road Congress and the International Winter Road Congress, which are held every four years.

These events generate many documents which are published in the proceedings of the Congresses:

  • National reports are prepared by member countries and contain responses to questions put forward by Coordinators of PIARC's Strategic Themes;
  • PIARC's Technical Committees each prepare an Introductory Report for their Congress session and an Activity Report which covers their achievements during the four year work cycle;
  • Individual Papers prepared by academics and practitioners across the world in repsonse to the Congress Call for Papers;
  • Other documents including the General Report and the Conclusions of the Congress.

The documents issued on the occasion of the last three World Road Congresses are available on CD-ROM and can be purchased at the PIARC Secretariat.
