Comme cela a deja ete enonce durant la premiere As already indicated during the first World Confer- Conference Mondiale sur la Recherche dans les Trans- ence on Transport Research in Bruges, Belgium in 1973, ports a Bruges, Belgique en 1973, Ie transport est today transportation is a recognized profession. This is aujourd'hui une profession reconnue. C'est egalement equally true in 1977, the year that the third World Con- vrai en 1977, annee a laquelle fut organisee a Rotter- ference was organized in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. dam, Pays-Bas, la troisieme Conference Mondiale. Le Transportation has truly emerged as an identifiable transport a veritablement emerge pour s'identifier a une multi-modal and multi-disciplinary profession. profession multi-modale et multi-disciplinaire. The theme chosen for this third World Conference on Le theme choisi pour cette troisieme Conference Transport Research has been: "Transport Decisions in Mondiale sur la Recherche dans les Transports etait: an Age of Uncertainty".
