World Congress on Railway Research 2022

RSSB and University of Birmingham are proud, on the behalf of the United Kingdom, to host the 13th World Congress on Railway Research (WCRR).

With the Covid-19 pandemic having huge and long-lasting impact on the rail sector, the new knowledge and novel solutions generated by research are even more important than before and they will be essential in the recovery.

Increasing research quality and speed, putting the findings quickly into action and fostering international co-operation to work together on the common challenges faced by the railways will be key to our ability to attract customers back, deliver great value for money and lead on transport sustainability.

As the flagship international congress on railway research WCRR 2022 will bring together the global community to explore this theme over the course of an exciting five day programme of activities. We look forward to welcoming you to the heart of the UK, and this Congress which will champion technical development, advocate collaboration and inspire the next generation of rail professionals.
