What will the conference be like and what will I gain from attendance?

The CORE 2010 Youth Scholarship is a fantastic way to increase your technical knowledge and learn about different areas of rail including track, signalling and electrification, rolling stock, planning, policy and regulations, asset management, maintenance, structures and rail projects. It will be a great opportunity to meet like-minded professionals and build relationships and contacts.

Please view the CORE2008 highlights and the CORE 2010 programme and technical tour information. The CORE2008 highlights include a Youth Scholarship video called 'CORE 2008 Graduate Program'.
