Pressure to shift freight from road to rail is also increasing throughout Europe. A step cha nge in the number of skilled people entering the industry is required to m eet these demands and innovative engineering solutions to make the most of limited assets are also essential. \nUniversities have a key role in both of these areas and Professor Iwnicki will outline the ways in which resea rch teams are working more closely with the railway industry to apply the outputs from research and to demonstrate the benefits of innovations. He w ill also present examples of the ways in which Universities and the indust ry are cooperating to encourage young people to \nconsider a career in rai lway engineering and help to ease the skills shortage.\n\nContact Details: Paul Dillon\nAddress: Dept of Mechanical Engineering\, TU Dublin\, \, Tal laght Campus\, Tallaght\, D24 FKT9\, Ireland.
