The 2014/15 series of railway seminars is almost fully booked already for the year and we are delighted to welcome senior practitioners from across the railway industry to the Birmingham Centre for Railway Research and Education. All students in the Schools of Civil Engineering and EESE, as well as anyone who finds the topic of interest, are welcome to attend.
Attendance is expected of all MRes Railway Systems Integration students. Each talk will be given by senior practitioner and expert working in the railway industry and the series will prove interesting, informative and stimulating – as well as giving students an insight into what they might be doing themselves in the not-to-distant-future.
