Project description DEENESFRITPL Skilled engineers for ageing EU rail infrastructure Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the RISEN project has developed a research network to improve rail infrastructure systems resilience towards future demand, extreme events, and climate change. This is also in line with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (Climate Action, Sustainable Cities, and Responsible Production) and the goals of the EU Transport White Paper. RISEN aims towards significant national, European, and international impacts. Over 50 scholars have already contributed to over 200 peer-reviewed open-access scientific articles (140 high-impact journal articles and 95 conference papers). These outcomes strengthen research partnerships and collaboration, expanding research frontiers in rail infrastructure resilience. Both advanced scientific knowledge and capabilities from RISEN will contribute towards rethinking rail transport for cleaner and more inclusive mobility. Show the project objective Hide the project objective Objective Social and economic growth, security and sustainability in Europe are at risk of being compromised due to aging and failing railway infrastructure systems. This partly reflects a recognised skill shortage in railway infrastructure engineering. This project, RISEN, aims to enhance knowledge creation and transfer using both international and intersectoral secondment mechanisms among European Advanced Rail Research Universities/SMEs and Non-EU, world-class rail universities including the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (USA), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA), Southwest Jiaotong University (China), Tsinghua University (China), University of California Berkeley (USA), Railway Technical Research Institute (Japan), University of Sao Paulo (Brazil), Iranian University of Science and Technology (Iran), Chulalongkorn University (Thailand), and University of Wollongong (Australia). This project adds research skill mobility and innovation dimension to existing bilateral collaborations between universities through research exchange, joint research supervision, summer courses, international training and workshops, and joint development of innovative inventions. It spans over 4 years from April 2016 to March 2020. RISEN aims to produce the next generation of engineers and scientists needed to meet the challenge of providing sustainable, smart and resilient railway infrastructure systems critical for maintaining European competitiveness. The emphasis will be placed on the resilience and adaptation of railway and urban transport infrastructures using integrated smart systems. Such critical areas of the research theme will thus be synergised to improve response and resilience of rail infrastructure systems to climate change, extreme events from natural and human-made hazards, and future operational demands. In addition, researchers will benefit from the co-location of engineering education, training and research alongside world-class scientists and industry users through this initiative. Lessons learnt from rail infrastructure management will be shared and utilised to assure integrated and sustainable rail transport planning for future cities and communities.
