EURNEX Mentor/Trainee Programme - Sustaining Young Female Researchers

Posted: Monday 31 October 2005

The Mentor programme aims at providing young female researchers within EURNEX an extra opportunity to find their own way in the railway research world, offering the possibility to establish a mentor/trainee relationship with experienced researchers (more than 4 years of research after PhD degree) from the sector. Besides the outcome of building relationships in railway research, which is an EURNEX goal itself, the Mentor programme specific goal is to improve the opportunity to build a career in such area, providing an instrument dedicated to young female researchers to:

* improve the opportunity to meet experienced researchers / professionals on a particular research subject;
* stimulate and support the internationalisation of research activities;
* support enhanced visibility of research results.

The EURNEX Mentor programme for female researchers is open to any female applicant belonging to a EURNEX member; mentors are volunteer recruited among the experienced researchers belonging to EURNEX members.

EURNEX project proposals at poster session at InnoTrans 2006 (19 - 22 September)

Posted: Saturday 10 December 2005

EURNEX used the InnoTrans 2006 (19 - 22 September)- the worldwide leading trade fair for rail technology - for targeted, concerted and attractive dissemination towards the rail research customers. Besides the 3rd Integration Conference and a seminar organised with industry and operators, the EURNEX community did use the unique chance to present the excellence of the poles, their capabilities and visionary, "spectacular" research ideas/approaches/projects on posters to the most comprehensive audience of international railway experts one can ever find on one place at the same time.

Each EURNEX pole presented up to 3 posters about the most attractive, future-oriented, spectacular project ideas / research topics members are engaged with.

The common stand with Modtrain made some remarkable impressions amongst the EURNEX customers from industries and operators.
