Technical sessions

During these technical sessions, each of the Technical Committees will present their achievements and their ongoing work.

  1. Technical Session Winter Service
  2. Technical Session Resilience
  3. Technical Session Decarbonisation

Indeed, throughout a four-year work cycle, PIARC’s Technical Committees conduct a programme of exchanges and studies, resulting in the identification of good practices, the establishment of peer networks, the organization of seminars and the publication of technical reports.

In addition, PIARC organised a comprehensive international call for papers, which aimed at complementing the work done by PIARC’s Technical Committees. This call covered 23 topics. The best papers from the international call will be presented by their authors during those Technical Sessions.
