Railway Engineers' Forum
The Railway Engineers Forum (REF) is a multi-disciplinary body drawn from the Professional Institutions with strong railway interests:
- Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE)
- Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET)
- Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE)
- Institution of Railway Operators (IRO)
- Institution of Railway Signal Engineers (IRSE)
- Permanent Way Institution (PWI)
- Railway Civil Engineers Association (RCEA)
- Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport (CILT)
The aim of the REF is to harmonise the various strengths of the constituent Institutions in devising and implementing their programmes of activities in support of the railway community. This will encompass such activities as conferences, seminars, lectures, training, information services, publications and statements of policy to Government and other Regulatory Body policies. The harmonisation process will aim to avoid duplication or duplication of events, to promote joint ventures whenever this is advantageous and to maximise the visibility of such activities to the widest possible audience.
The REF publishes a monthly combined events list of the meetings of all the Institutions, where these are of cross disciplinary interest.
The Railway Civil Engineers Association in conjunction with the REF has organised a lecture entitled High Speed Rail in the UK, to be given by Professor Andrew McNaughton, at 1830 on 25 March 2010 at the Institution of Civil Engineers, London.
