1st anniversary. Networking day with Practice Market
This autumn, the Rail Systems Platform celebrated exactly 5 years of existence. The first lustrum, in other words!
During the first five years of the Rail Systems Platform, lecture evenings and excursions were mainly organised. Always with a focus on interesting technical developments and/or projects in the field of rail infrastructure, rail equipment or rail traffic.
During each meeting, the exchange of knowledge was paramount, but there were also opportunities for networking.
During this first lustrum celebration, we put 'networking' first: the 'network day'.

Description
This autumn, the Rail Systems Platform is celebrating its 5th anniversary. The first lustrum, therefore!
During the first five years of the Platform Railsystemen, lecture evenings and excursions were mainly organised. Always focusing on an interesting technical development and/or project in the field of rail infrastructure, rail equipment or rail traffic. During each meeting, the exchange of knowledge came first, but there was also the opportunity for networking.
At this 1st anniversary celebration, we put 'networking' first: the "networking day".
And we will cleverly combine this with gaining new learning experiences for some current technical themes: The "practical market". The RIO is perfectly suited for this, given the presence of technical practical rooms.
We have a special key-note speaker: Martin van Pernis, president KIVI NIRIA.
The membership of the Platform Railsystemen has now risen to almost 200 !
We would like to give all members the opportunity to participate in this anniversary day on 30 October.
