Industry Engagement

Joining UKRRIN: For Industry

The network is keen to build new collaborations and strategic partner relationships, including the opportunity to work with the SME supply chain to engage with world class research partners and develop new partnerships across the industry. Through the Railway Industry Association and Rail Alliance a programme of engagement activity across wider industry and SMEs has been developed.

Through UKRRIN, the rail industry now has access to world-class research innovation and testing facilities, as well as leading academic experts and rail specialists.

We welcome approaches from industry to join as new members. We cannot add new Founding Partners as the contractual commitment has already been made with Research England.

Interested parties are therefore welcome to join UKRRIN as new industrial partners. Find out more about the options below:
