UIC and IRITS Events are proud to announce the shortlists for the UIC International Sustainable Railway Awards (ISRA) 2022.

ISRA recognises railway projects and initiatives driving social (‘People’), environmental (‘Planet’) and economic (‘Prosperity’) sustainability. The awards are part of UIC’s vision for the future of rail, celebrating and sharing worldwide best practice and promoting growth in the sector.

Long-distance, regional and urban passenger and freight rail operators, infrastructure owners and managers and national and local governments were among those eligible to enter work completed or implemented between 1 January 2020 and 31 October 2021 inclusive.

Compared with other transport modes, the railways have an unprecedented opportunity to strengthen their competitiveness and increase their modal share. Together with UIC, the worldwide rail transport association, Roland Berger unveils its predictions for mobility in 2035 and its recommendations for rail stakeholders.

UIC organised the first UIC Symposium, held the 30 November and the 1 December 2021. The replay of the event is now available in a playlist covering the two days of the event.

As part of the European Year of Rail, UIC is organising a photo competition through its TopRail group (rail tourism) under the theme “My Secret Rail Spots”.

 

The aim of the competition is for railway employees to share their favourite spots from train journeys in order to inspire future passengers to hop on a train and take the same pictures once it becomes possible to travel again.

SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AFTERNOON: from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Sunday as always also in the morning: from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
