UIC and Renfe kindly invite you to join the “11th UIC Sustainability Conference" - taking place in Madrid from 16–18 June 2010- with the motto "Railways: Mobility for a sustainable future” to understand where the rail sector stands today, share best practices and help influence where rail should go in future sustainable transport systems, introducing new and sustainable ways of life and business!
By submitting a paper within the 30th April your paper might be selected to be presented in the plenary sessions or one of the workshops, or in the poster exhibition of the conference. In addition, your paper will join the competition for the UIC Sustainability Awards.
