The theme will be ‘Railway to the future: business and academia join forces’.

In May University of Antwerp opens its doors for the first ‘Antwerp Rail School’ organised by its international network of leading University Groups, TRANSPORTNET, in close co-operation with Lloyd’s Register Rail.

From May 17 – 21, 2010 the University of Antwerp opens its doors for the first ‘Antwerp Rail School’ organised by its international network of leading University Groups, TRANSPORTNET, in close co-operation with our Transportation business, specialist provider of expert advice for rail rolling stock and infrastructure. 

The theme will be ‘Railway to the future: business and academia join forces’.

The school will benefit both people working in rail operations and infrastructure businesses who want to improve their knowledge and learn new skills, and students at advanced Masters / PhD level who want to better understand the rail business and apply their learning in this challenging environment. 

This innovative approach has been pioneered by Lloyd’s Register working with TRANSPORTNET with the objective of bringing scientific knowledge and rail practice closer together. At the same time it will be an excellent opportunity to promote the rail world to students, acquainting them with a working environment which carries a long history and offers substantial growth possibilities.
