UIC Europe

UIC European Region

The European Region is at the heart of the UIC, representing over half of global membership and delivering more than 85% of project contributions. Together, our members lead the way in innovation, connectivity, and sustainable growth for the rail sector.

Our Mission

Through the European Management Committee (EMC) and the Regional Assembly Europe (RAE), we unite railway leaders, set strategic priorities, and deliver results that shape the future of rail across Europe and beyond.

Strategic Focus

Our Road Map sets clear priorities to maximise value for our members and the wider transport community. The topics address shared strategic priorities which are:

  • Seamless passenger mobility
  • Stronger European connectivity
  • Resilient transport backbone for economic growth
  • Modal shift to rail to meet climate goals
  • Financial sustainability of the sector

We’re currently driving forward key initiatives such as Digital Twins, Ticketing, FRMCS, Resilience, Standardisation, and Network Quality.

Partnership for Impact

Collaboration is our strength. We work closely with:

  • ERA (Europe’s rail safety and interoperability authority) with whom we enjoy a cooperation agreement
  • CER, EIM, GRB, RNE, – leading European Associations - to name but a few
  • UIC Members – engaged through dynamic UIC Days for strategy, dialogue, and innovation

Together, we’re building a connected, sustainable, and competitive European rail network.
