Calling  all creative minds in the railway industry!

The International Union of Railways (UIC) has launched the 2nd UIC Train Rail Hackathon2024-2025! 

This is an event where  people from different backgrounds communicate and cooperate together in technological development. A group of designers, engineers, programmers, etc. meets to develop new ideas, offer innovative solutions to practical industry problems and manufacture product prototypes. Is not a competition in the traditional sense, but rather a gathering of creative minds.

This  global event aims to foster collaboration between training organisations and industry partners. Also to attract new talent to the railway sector and develop innovative solutions for the future of rail.

We're looking for passionate individuals to form teams of 4-5 people affiliated with rail companies, universities, institutes, training organisations, etc.

The Hackathon is organised in three phases:

• Regional competitions: Asia-Pacific, Africa, Middle East, Latin America, Europe
• Final competition: on 08 April, as part of 7th World Congress on Rail Training (WCRT)
• Hackathon Award: during the 12th UIC World Congress on High–Speed Rail (WCHSR)

General thematic: Passenger, freight, rail operation. The exact topic will be given one month before the regional competitions.

Don't  miss this opportunity to be a part of the future of rail!
