The European Region is at the heart of the UIC, representing over half of global membership and delivering more than 85% of project contributions. Together, our members lead the way in innovation, connectivity, and sustainable growth for the rail sector.
Our Mission
Through the European Management Committee (EMC) and the Regional Assembly Europe (RAE), we unite railway leaders, set strategic priorities, and deliver results that shape the future of rail across Europe and beyond.
Strategic Focus
Our Road Map sets clear priorities to maximise value for our members and the wider transport community. The topics address shared strategic priorities which are:
Seamless passenger mobility
Stronger European connectivity
Resilient transport backbone for economic growth
Modal shift to rail to meet climate goals
Financial sustainability of the sector
We’re currently driving forward key initiatives such as Digital Twins, Ticketing, FRMCS, Resilience, Standardisation, and Network Quality.
Partnership for Impact
Collaboration is our strength. We work closely with:
ERA (Europe’s rail safety and interoperability authority) with whom we enjoy a cooperation agreement
CER, EIM, GRB, RNE, – leading European Associations - to name but a few
UIC Members – engaged through dynamic UIC Days for strategy, dialogue, and innovation
Together, we’re building a connected, sustainable, and competitive European rail network.
