Editorial

Cesroute
Top-quality training

Road networks are an important factor for developingtrade, the dynamism of the economy and social solidarity. As they allow people, and hence culture and in particular ideas, to travel, they help to reduce regional inequalities and thus constitute an essential condition for sustainable development.
The removal of barriers to the free circulation of persons and goods leads to increased traffic on road networks and therefore creates new demand for the development of road
infrastructure.
At the same time, this situation should encourage the state administrative apparatus to identify new road traffic management methods, in order to meet requirements for safety
and free flow, as well as new trade regulations. In order to achieve the desired change in road networks while maintaining safe and uncongested traffic, traffic management must be
placed in the hands of competent and highly qualified managers and use the most modern technologies.
There is therefore a need for selected professionals working in the area of road infrastructure
management to be able to access targeted high-level training. The training of road managers with a sound understanding of the topic and international experience is an indispensable factor which will increase the effectiveness of both administrations and private sector companies. The CESROUTE advanced roads studies course focuses on the training of high level road managers and is administered in France in the framework of a partnership between the administration and the private sector.
Two representatives from the Czech state roads sector, Mrs Daniela Kovalciková (Ministry of
Transport) and Mr Ludvík Engel (Roads and Motorways Directorate), had the opportunity to take part in this training course in Paris. For several months they were able to immerse themselves in training focused on road management and acquire new knowledge and experience in the company of other professionals, originating in particular from new member countries of the European Union but also from Asia and Africa. They now belong to an international network of high-level managers that consists of roughly fifty other professional executives.
The training that CESROUTE provides should therefore be seen as an essential element in
international training in the area of roads.
In conclusion, I would like to emphasize that the content and objectives of this course meet theexpectations of all its trainees, whether they come from the private or public sectors.
I can only wish the CESROUTE programme all the best for the future.

Deputy Prime Minister and Transport Minister of the Czech Republic
