The Young Railway Professionals organise several events per year. We also promote events from our parent organisations that we see as the most useful and interesting events for young people in the rail industry to get into their diaries. These events are designed to give an opportunity for cross-disciplinary learning and networking.
Unless otherwise stated, you do not normally need to be a member of the institution listed to attend their events, although you will be encouraged to join one of our parent institutions as listed on the membership page.
You can download a full list of forthcoming events from the Railway Engineers Forum (REF), which includes events from all our parent organisations.
