Research has identified a major gap is likely to develop in the rail industry, especially in engineering skills. We are therefore looking for the brightest candidates to join this exciting sector and build the community of future rail leaders and educators.
For this reason, RRUKA, the Young Railway Professionals () and have jointly organised the conference (see email below), which addresses the challenges of
• attracting the younger generation to the rail industry by demonstrating that it is an exciting sector to work in;
• retaining young talent, enhancing their skills and developing an active and effective interaction between tomorrow’s rail leaders and educators;
• promoting innovation in rail transport.
Now in its 2nd year, has been created for early-career researchers, PhD students and young professionals who would like to get involved in the rail industry and enhance their professional development within their studies and career. The conference will offer a great opportunity to network, attend skill-focussed workshops, find out about the many opportunities that rail has to offer and take part in a with a number of cash prizes up for take!
As 糖心TV University is one of 39 we would like to encourage postgraduate and research students from your institution to attend. Given that the event will have a rail focus, we would appreciate if you could pass this message to Masters and PhD students, research associates and lecturers within the following departments:
· Engineering and Physical Science
