The UKRRIN Student Led Conference is the premier annual event for PhD
students in the UK conducting research with applications in the railway
industry. This conference will bring together members of the academic
community and industry professionals to discuss innovative solutions and
help shape the future of the railway. To this end, we will feature keynote
speakers from leading organisations and provide networking opportunities
to facilitate collaboration across the railway sector.
Participants will have the chance to showcase their work in an
interdisciplinary environment spanning fields such as engineering,
computer science, and social sciences. The conference encourages students
to present their research through poster presentations and talks,
providing a platform for emerging ideas that could shape the future of the
rail industry.
There will also be the opportunity for in-person delegates to visit the
Global Centre of Rail Excellence, currently under construction in South Wales. This tour will offer a
first-hand look at the world-class rail innovation centre being developed
to support both industrial and academic research.
Please note that the places for the GCRE visit are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
