Thank you for joining us at Beyond a tunnel vision 2024!

On October 16, 2024, we had the pleasure of hosting Beyond a tunnel vision in the beautiful setting of ‘A Room with a Zoo’ in Antwerp, Belgium. We welcomed an incredible group of 265 guests from 21 different countries, all gathered to shape the future of tunnel management and infrastructure sustainability. Thanks to each of you, the event was a resounding success, filled with insightful conversations and forward-thinking ideas.

"The preservation of the Pan-European Road Network requires close attention as it is showing its age after decades of service. This particularly concerns the most critical parts of our networks: our bridges and tunnels."
