Description of the Organisation:
UIC is the worldwide organisation promoting rail transport and the collaborative development of the railway system at a global level. It brings together some 200 members on all 5 continents. UIC maintains close cooperation links with all actors in the rail transport domains across the world, including manufacturers, railway associations, public authorities and stakeholders in other domains and sectors which may be beneficial to rail development. The UIC's main tasks include understanding the business needs of the rail community, developing innovation programmes to identify solutions to those needs and publishing a series of documents known as IRS that facilitate the implementation of the innovative solutions. UIC is also active in learning and development strategies that can help the rail sector address challenges relating to skills shortages. In this context, amongst its other policies, UIC recruits apprentices each year and trains them in various activities.
