PIARC Technical Committees and Task Forces
Under 4 Strategic Themes (STs), PIARC Technical Committees (TCs) and Task Forces (TFs) unite experts from numerous areas including road safety and design, network operations and maintenance, finance and governance.
They allow participants to access global information and expertise, along with professional development and networking opportunities.
TCs implement research activities during four year cycle (currently 2020-2023), and TFs for approximately two years.
