UK-Japan Symposium on High Speed Rail
‘UK–Japan Symposium on High-Speed Rails’ will address one of the most pressing issues in the U.K. High speed rail systems make a significant difference to the public and provide a positive contribution towards the environmental, social and economic sustainability of the communities they serve. They exist to provide social and economic connections, and people quickly take up the opportunities offered by increased mobility. Globally, high speed rails have proven to be an essential catalyst for regional growth and have enhanced the quality of everyday life. This symposium therefore presents a great opportunity for UK industry to access extensive expertise from the pioneers of high-speed rails. Attendance at the symposium is free. It aims to attract over 60 participants from academia, rail industry, governments and suppliers. There will be three invited speakers from Japan and five from the U.K. An additional four or five oral presentations are expected from practical engineers, researchers and students. A poster session will be organized during lunch regarding research on life cycle management and sustainability. This event is sponsored by the JSPS (Japan Society for the Promotion of Science) and JSPS London.
