PRESENTATION SYNTHETIQUE DE <strong>RAILENIUM</strong><br />
– Technological Research InsCtute (IRT), with an European and<br />
InternaConal dimension ; its creaCon is an answer to the compeCCveness<br />
requirements related to the highly evolving market condiCons of the rail<br />
industry<br />
– It is organised under the terms of a FoundaCon leading the R&D<br />
programmes and those of a SAS (Simplified Joint Stock Company)<br />
managing a tesCng staCon (centre)<br />
– Its governance is done jointly by the industrial companies, the research<br />
and higher educaCon public organisaCons (universiCes) and the local<br />
collecCviCes<br />
– The main objecCve is to produce technical innovaCon for rail<br />
infrastructures and to accelerate the market introducCon of new<br />
products<br />
– It will develop educaConal programmes suited to industrial<br />
requirements and needs<br />
– It authors a main site providing unique equipment and research<br />
frameworks at the European level (a 5km-‐long tesCng loop, tramway<br />
tracks, faCgue test circuits, etc.)
