It is my great pleasure to announce that the ITACET Foundation and the IRF are joining their expertise to build a comprehensive programme of training sessions on tunnelling with the help of the ITA-CET Committee.

The aim is to run the programme for three years, starting January 2018, and to offer a set of training sessions on specific topics such as tunnel design, construction of tunnels, tunnel operation and tunnel maintenance.

The target audience will comprise young professionals and tunnel owner representatives from emerging countries in particular.

I feel confident that this initiative will prove beneficial to all those involved and look forward to launching the first training sessions in the coming year.
