ITACET training course at the WTC 2025 in Stockholm!

The ITACET Foundation, in partnership with the ITA-AITES and the Swedish Rock Engineering Association, successfully hosted a two-day training course in Stockholm, Sweden, ahead of the World Tunnel Congress 2025. The course, held on 9-10 May 2025, gathered a diverse audience of senior and young engineers, and students from across the globe.

The theme ‘Managing risks, sustainability and innovation in rock tunnelling’ highlighted some of the most pressing issues facing today’s tunnelling community, particularly in hard-rock conditions. A roundtable discussion on the future of tunnelling allowed speakers and participants to reflect on lessons learned, with a clear consensus: the intergration of risk management, sustainability, and innovation must go hand in hand to meet the sector’s future demands.

This training course reinforced Stockholm’s role as a hub for rock tunnelling expertise and underlined ITACET’s mission of spreading knowledge and raising standards worldwide.
