World road congress

welcome from the 1st delegate

As the Czech Republic’s First Delegate to PIARC, let me express firm

intention and interest of the Czech Road Society and Prague to host

the XXVII World Road Congress in the year 2023. The candidature

of the Czech Republic is supported by Slovakia and the Slovak

National Committee.

A Word from the President

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

The World Road Congress in Prague will be a major

event of 2023. The Czech Road Society, founded

in 1934, has made extraordinary efforts to host this

event, which brings with it recognition of the long-

-standing work of Czech experts and their experience

in the field of transport infrastructure. We have had significant support

in this from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the City of Prague and for-

mer Prime Minister Andrej Babiš.

The congress, which will be attended by 3,000 to 5,000 delegates,

mostly from abroad, will present the latest trends and technologies

in the road transport sector. While the Prague congress is running, the

Ministers of Transport from the almost 130 member countries of the

association will meet to share their insights and discuss the challenges

posed by the modernisation of their national road infrastructure.

The Czech Road Society believes that this prestigious project will not

only afford a chance to meet the world’s best experts here in Prague,

but will also provide impetus for a restart, a renaissance of the road sec-

tor in the Czech Republic. I hope that this event, with its associated acti-

vities, will restore the industry to a prominent position in the eyes of the

general public, and attract young people, schoolchildren and students,

back into the field. Infrastructure is absolutely critical for a country’s so-

cial and economic development, and the Czech Road Society intends

to be actively involved in that development. Our representatives, there-

fore, want to rekindle interest in this area not only in Czech and Slovak

technical universities, but also to start one step earlier, in secondary and

vocational schools.

I look forward to meeting you in Prague!
