Connecting railways across Europe

In modern and prosperous countries, railways are considered a highly effective tool in unloading road transport, which is overloaded and burdensome for the environment in many cases. Railway transport and its assumptions for a high-quality and efficient operation of the economy and society become a key European transport platform.

Speakers and attendees of the event will discuss the following:

  • Strategy for the development of railway transport in Slovakia until 2050
  • High-speed lines vs. modernization of corridors to a speed of up to 200 km/h
  • Technical and technological progress in railway transport
  • Integration of public passenger transport – complex and effective solutions

The strategy of the European Union is to create a corresponding international transport system, where railway transport will have a key role. Important tools for completing the strategy are improving technical parameters, raising technical equipment, and transport management systems. The most important element for creating an operative infrastructure is also fulfilling the expansion requirement and connecting the railway to countries from Middle and Eastern Europe.

The aim of the professional conference Forum of Rail Transport is to point out ongoing differences between particular European regions and look for a way to fulfil the strategy of the European Union within the development of quality railway transport networks. At the same time, the conference aims to empower railways experts about the sector’s impact on the environment.
