High-Level Deployment Group

The EU-Rail Deployment Group consists of a high-level Core Group, which is complemented on an ad-hoc basis by dedicated groups on specific topics requiring additional expertise. European rail representatives, such as Infrastructure Managers or Rail Operators, and suppliers will be involved to advise EU-Rail on a coordinated and integrated deployment. The Deployment Group’s composition reflects its openness and guarantees an appropriate thematic focus and representativeness.
