The European Rail Research Advisory Council (ERRAC) Steering Committee has announced ECTRI as new member. ERRAC was set up in 2001 with the ambitious goal of creating a single European body with both the competence and capability to help revitalise the European rail sector and make it more competitive, by fostering increased innovation and guiding research efforts at European level. ECTRI will join ERRAC’s activities with the commitment of providing scientifically based competence, knowledge and advice to move towards green, safe, efficient, and inclusive transport for people and goods.
