PIARC Road Academy: bringing knowledge to life

PIARC's reports and manuals are reference tools for road professionals worldwide. The new PIARC Road Academy now takes knowledge exchange beyond written production, bringing the work of our Technical Committees to life through courses and webinars.

The Academy is already under way. More than 80 participants are following our first course, "Work Zones Safety and Management", which runs in six modules from June to November 2026. Our first webinar, on "Innovative Approaches for Asset Management Data Collection and Analysis", gathered 141 participants from over 50 countries on 23 September 2026.

The Academy is also a direct benefit of membership. All PIARC members attend webinars free of charge, each member country receives one free registration per course, and all members enjoy reduced fees.

Discover the programme and register at roadacademy.piarc.org, and share it with your teams to ensure the profesional development according to best international practices.
