TITLE:
Academics4Rail - Building a community of railway scientific researchers and academia for ERJU and enabling a network of PhDs academia teaming with industry
DESCRIPTION:
A stable and durable scientific community which shares and exchanges scientific knowledge with ERJU (Europe's Rail Joint Undertaking) and ERRAC (European Rail Research Advisory Council), is organized within the project Academics4Rail. This knowledge is shared at different levels (strategic to concrete technical areas) and for different purposes. When it comes to the strategic level the scientific community intends to share knowledge with ERRAC and ERJU with the purpose to optimize the program for railway research providing insights of fund use, existing themes for research and scientific necessities for the future of European railways. It also supports the methodology of program assessment using KPIs and impact estimation towards the objectives set out in the ERJU masterplan.
Finally, the scientific community shares its knowledge about the necessities of future PhD funding with a relevant European and scientific weight. In a more concrete technological domain, the scientific community engages in specific themes creates 6 PhD positions that enlarge the knowledge in 6 specific areas and enable the cooperation of academia with industry. The areas are Aerodynamics of freight trains, Electromagnetic compatibility, Additive Manufacturing in wheel reprofiling, Digital communications, Prognostics and health management for railway asset maintenance and Driving assistance. For all areas, a doctoral study will be conducted as part of the project, in the implementation of which the consortium partners will participate.
