The IT2Rail Final Conference was successfully held on the 18th April in Vienna. Taking advantage of the Transport Research Arena (TRA2018) taking place in Vienna during that same week, the event was attended by participants from all over Europe. The event was opened by Mr Keir Fitch, Head of the Rail Safety & Interoperability Unit at DG MOVE, who stressed the need for ensuring that the project results are taken further by Shift2Rail projects.
The project partners then had the opportunity to showcase the various functionalities that have been developed in the IT2Rail project, followed also by a short demonstration. The conference participants also had the opportunity to be involved in the discussions through the panel and interactive sessions that were planned, which focused on key aspects of the project.
The event closed with an overview of the project outcomes and main innovations, followed by a brief introduction on how the results will be taken further by the currently running and future Shift2Rail projects.
