The 3rd International Conference on Standardisation will be held on 16 March 2021 (live webinar).
The conference will be developed around the theme “How can standardisation help to evolve a sustainable railway”
About the conference
“How can Standardisation help to evolve a sustainable railway?”
Hosted online, the conference provides a chance to share experiences, successes and wins; as well as exchange best practices and stories to achieve sustainable mobility.
Sustainability has moved from a “nice to have” to a strategic imperative, consequently companies and authorities have evolved their approach.
- How do UIC members address sustainable development challenges?
- How does standardisation help?
- How do Railways companies and industries use Standards to attain sustainable goals?
- What standards are they?
- What are their benefits?
All these subjects and more will be tackled by speakers from all over the world.
