UIC Research and Innovation Regional Competence HUBs (RCHs)


Rail Innovation is global, but it starts at the regional level.

Contact*1:

The Regional Competence Hubs (RCHs) are regional platforms, operating under the IRRB, each rooted in the specific needs and priorities of their geographical area and dedicated to advancing rail research and innovation at that level. By bringing together regional railway stakeholders, each Hub develops its own regional work programme and fosters structured dialogue to strengthen the railway sector’s collective experience.

*1UIC members interested in engaging with the respective Regional Competence Hub in their region can participate by completing the “Contact Forum”.
