IRF World Meeting 2010
May 25 -28, 2010
CCL - Lisbon Congress Centre, Lisbon, Portugal
In the growing, fast-paced world, people everywhere expect and demand better roads on which to travel. For people in more developed countries, better roads may mean reduced accidents, less pollution and a better visual environment. For those in less developed countries - the need to reduce accidents is also paramount - but the claims of reduced isolation and access to markets, health care and education figure high on most people's agenda. And there is no question that the road’s relationship with the natural environment is a priority for everyone.
The IRF 16th World Road Meeting will bring together top-level representatives of the road construction industries, the engineering companies, the road equipment companies, the concessionaires, the road authorities, the researchers and the interest groups. Their common aim will be sustainable mobility for the 21st century, a multi-faceted issue that will require innovative and elaborate solutions.
With this in mind, World Road Meeting delegates will hear about road safety issues, environmental concerns, financial challenges, educational offers, latest research and applications, and many more topics.
The IRF 16th World Road Meeting offers a unique platform for the Road Infrastructure Community to showcase their latest research and proposals in a friendly, peer group, result-oriented environment.
