TOPICS OF THE CONFERENCE

Modern technologies in the design, construction, maintenance, diagnostics and operation of rail infrastructure and rolling stock for passenger and goods transport, including:

1. Railway investments in the reference to new economic reality in Poland and the European Union - opportunities and threats. Pandemic as an impulse for organizational changes.

2. Experiences in the preparation and implementation of rail investments in the last decade together with recommendations for the perspective 2021-2027, including: are we ready to build new high-speed rail lines? or rather should we focus on modernizing existing rail corridors? 2x25KV - is it efficient in Poland?

3. The latest models for infrastructure design, implementation and management, including BIM.

4. Certification and approval of structural subsystems regarding interoperability.

5. Consequences and issues of implementing the 4th Railway Package.

6. Factors determining the safety of rail transport.

7. New quality and development of infrastructure maintenance processes on modernized railways - in particular with V = 160km/ h and more - preventive maintenance.

8. Development of urban and reginal rail transport integrated with other transport modes.

9. Railway of the 21st century – options for funding of research and development projects and innovations from institutions financing research grants (eg NCBiR); implementation of modern solutions (modern switches, diagnostic systems, GSM-R, ETCS, load-free anchoring of the overhead contact line, etc.); "Green Deal" - new opportunities for railways.

10. Scholarship system of students and pupils as a way of acquiring qualified staff.
