Rail transport faces huge present and future challenges for which innovation and step changes are necessary. As UIC’s overall mission is to promote the increased use of rail transport at world level and to help members make rail transport more attractive, effective, sustainable and economically viable, the last two General Assemblies have given their strong support to the ambitious programme of the International Railway Research Board (IRRB), as well as its initiative to set up the UIC Innovation Awards.
