In line with the SRRA of ERRAC, EURail is expected to promote interaction among its associates and to define clear and realistic objectives in view of the establishment of new and innovative forms for further cooperation between industry and academia.

 

Based on knowledge, experience and people from "real" universities in Europe, EURail is virtual in nature and aspires to foster at European level excellence by gathering and networking the different relevant organizations and institutions around an educational project suitable to the needs of the European Rail sector. EURail’s unique feature is this concentration of high-level knowledge and expertise in one single sector/problem-oriented institution. It is expected that EURail will form a coherent community able to define lines of actions and conduct sustainable business in close liaison with the Network of Excellence EURNEX.
