Europe’s Rail Info Day 2025-2 Engages more than 250 Stakeholders in Rail Innovation

We were pleased to welcome over 250 participants to the Europe’s Rail Info Day, held online on 10 October 2025. During the event, the EU-Rail team presented the new Call for Proposals 2025-02, which makes available more than €148 million in EU funding to support cutting-edge research and innovation (R&I) in the rail sector.

The event provided participants with key insights into the objectives of the Europe’s Rail Research and Innovation Programme and outlined opportunities to contribute to a smarter, more attractive and more sustainable rail system for passengers and businesses across Europe.

You can now check the slides presented during the session to explore detailed insights from the event.
