Joining UKRRIN: For Academics

Building on the academic Centres of Excellence we are keen to expand the network to highlight to industry the wide range of institutions in the UK that can support research and innovation development.

UKRRIN Centres of Excellence

The selected Centre of Excellence address core rail needs and have been identified and supported by industry. For a new centre to receive similar support a strong case for investment will need to be built based on existing and growing capability and sources of income will need to be identified.

UKRRIN Partner
