On 12 December 2017, in Brussels, the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) and the European Railway Clusters Initiative (ERCI) will organize the “Shift2Rail JU Info Day & Matchmaking”.

Shift2Rail Joint Undertaking (S2R JU) is a long-term public-private partnership for supporting and pooling transnational research collaboration in the railway sector, so the event represents a great chance to inform the participants about the novel EU funding opportunities in the field of rail systems technology. Furthermore, during the Matchmaking event it will be possible to meet potential project partners, with the view of exchanging information to stimulate networking and consortia building.
