The value of the research delivered by RSSB is strongly influenced by rail organisations across the industry, who support RSSB in defining needs and opportunities for which research is required, and by delivery partners with specialist knowledge, creative approaches, and best practice from previous research.
To register your interest in any project listed below, contact us through the customer self-service portal. This list reflects our plans at the time of publication and may be subject to change.
We invite stakeholders from across the industry to tell us about the challenges they face and the new knowledge and solutions they need. If these require cross-industry collaboration and system-wide thinking, the RSSB Research Programme may be able to help.
