The purpose of the group is to exchange experiences on road technology. Road technology is about road materials, pavement design and road degradation. The group will exchange knowledge and best practices in relation to approaches and methodologies that can support sustainable material selection in the road sector.

The working group will focus on specific themes, including sustainable approach and recycling of materials in the road sector, the functional properties of the road over time, aging infrastructure, and prioritization of the road network.
