The UIC Sustainability Conference 2012, organised by FS and UIC, will be held in Venice from 25 – 27 October 2012. On the first day the conference will feature high-level speakers from the United Nations, the EU Commission, Italian Government and the European Parliament, along with senior leaders from the railway sector and an audience of over 200 delegates to discuss a sustainable future for the railway sector.

On the second day along with parallel sessions of the UIC Sustainability Networks, the RIVAS project will be holding its mid-term conference. This project funded within the 7th Framework Programme (FP7) of the European Commission aims at reducing the environmental impact of ground-borne vibrations while safeguarding the commercial competitiveness of the railway sector. The conference will take stock of the achieved research results and will attempt to define the way ahead.
