As a response to the circumstances brought by the coronavirus crisis, clusters from the rail supply industry gathered in the European Railway Clusters Initiative (ERCI - celebrating its 10 year anniversary in 2020) have pooled together their resources and expertise to share knowledge and information and make it available to over 2,000 small and medium-sized businesses from 17 European countries.

ERCI’s primary objective is to reinforce the competitiveness of the European rail industry through cooperation between big companies, SMEs and research institutes on close-to-market innovations.

The ERCI clusters are working together to provide a series of regular webinars on wide variety of topics relevant to the rail industry, providing up-to-date knowledge and updated information on current developments. We will also show how the rail industry is innovating and adapting to provide solutions that can be used as a response to COVID-19 pandemics.

ERCI's next webinar will be held on November 18th, on the topic of the EXXTRA Cluster Exchange Program, upporting growth and skillsin members of Railway clusters: and explaining how to take direct benefit from it.
