All European UIC members are invited to the Research and Innovation Coordination Group (RICG) Plenary Meeting, taking place online on 29 June 2026, from 09:00 to 12:00 (CEST).
The meeting will focus on preparing the “European Railway R&I+D Vision 2035 – White Paper”, based on the UIC document Future Capabilities of the European Railway System. This strategic paper will ensure that the voice of UIC railway operators and infrastructure managers is strongly represented in the upcoming discussions on the next EU Financial Framework Programme (2028–2034).
As this future funding framework will be crucial for European rail research, innovation and skills development, broad participation from UIC members is essential. The White Paper will serve as a key reference in discussions with the European Commission, sector associations and within ERRAC.
The session will be chaired by Mr. Christophe Chéron (SNCF), with the vital support of Mr. David Villalmanzo Resusta (Adif), Chair of RICG WG1 (Policy & Strategy), and Ms. Roberta Calcina (FS), Chair of RICG WG2 (Coordination & Advocacy).
