GTS together with the Organizing Committee of the ITA-AITES World Tunnel Congress 2023 took the decision to make the conference proceedings open-access and thus available to all the tunnelling community for free. This specific choice was made for the first time in the series of World Tunnel Congresses in an effort to ensure that new knowledge, advanced practices and new methodologies and ways of dealing with problems in the design and construction of tunnels can be disseminated freely, without restrictions, to the Greek and international scientific and technical community of the sector.

This practice is one of the strategic objectives of GTS, which explicitly enhances the improvement of the knowledge and training of people in the sector, but also the introduction of the general public to the advantages that stem from the adoption of underground technical infrastructure projects. Therefore, GTS was particularly pleased to see that the specific choice of freely disclosing the conference proceedings was adopted at the next ITA-AITES conference WTC2024, which took place in Shenzhen, China.
