The Railway Research Portal provided by UIC   gives you an overview of research projects and their deliverables at a global level and helps you finding research results and/or data in a quick, global and organised manner to efficiently prepare for future research projects and avoid duplication. It is an inter-active rail research data base providing contacts as well as data and links to research institutes, researchers, other international rail research data-bases and other rail research related information. The railway sector needs to think beyond tomorrow and beyond rail in order to design a strategy for rail at a global level!
