The theme for the week was “Inspiring innovative and resilient railways.” NURail CoE’s 27 presentations and seven session chairs were part of the 700 individual peer-reviewed sessions and papers at the joint conference. This week featured two of the leading preeminent global rail events, the 13th International Heavy Haul Association Conference (IHHA 2025) and the 14th World Congress on Railway Research (WCRR 2025). This collaboration brought together leading minds in freight and passenger rail from around the world, tackling the pressing challenges facing the rail industry today and in the future.
