Essay series

The CER Essays initiative features a series of articles that show the rail sector as contributing not only to EU transport policy, but touching on different aspects of society at large. Topics covered range from modal shift, climate policy,  infrastructure investment, high-speed rail, demography and more. Each essay is co-authored by a CER member CEO and a leading academic from the same country and serves to spark debate among political stakeholders on the role of rail in the EU.
