Professor Allen commented: “CERES offers a unique opportunity to work alongside leading academic institutions to help establish new railway research capabilities in Eastern Europe. At the same time, the centre will provide the IRR with a platform to carry out collaborative research across the centre’s developing academic and industrial partners.

“We are very much looking forward to building new links across Europe and developing our understanding of the rail industry and research landscape across Poland and the surrounding region.”
