Railway is already the most energy-efficient mode of transport, being largely electrified. Even if it cannot address every mobility need, an increase of its market share and its role in mobility remain essential and a real game changer for a sustainable future. Building upon on the results of the Shift2Rail partnership, the promising results of the Europe’s Rail partnership under the umbrella of the Horizon Europe framework programme, the Rail Research Innovation Agenda (RRIA) is ERRAC’s updated roadmap for transforming rail into an even more sustainable, more capable, more flexible, more performing system at the service of multimodality. The RRIA: • addresses high level stakeholders, • contains high level technology approaches, necessary to be addressed in future funding schemes, lays out innovation activities until 2031 (end of ERJU) and later, • is the result of a balanced elaboration between Railways, Research organizations and supply industry, • sets customers and users view in the centre, • continues and updates the ERRAC SRIA and Manifesto. Speakers: Introduction: Ralf Kaminsky (Siemens Mobility) Panellists: Giorgio Travaini (Europe’s Rail Joint Undertaking) Mark Patterson (US Federal Railroad Administration) Juliana Buelvas (Alstom) Robert Ampomah (Network Rail) Andrea Gentili (EC DG RTD) Wrap-up: Davide Zamboni (ERRAC & SBB) Moderator: Marion Berbineau (Université Gustave Eiffel)
