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 longstanding 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 former 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 sector in the Czech Republic. I hope that this event, with its associated activities, 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 social and economic development, and the Czech Road Society intends to be actively involved in that development. Our representatives, therefore, 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!
