PRESS RELEASE N° 01/2018
ERRAC, the Technology Platform for the rail sector in Europe, appoints new
leadership team
(Brussels, 16th May 2018) ERRAC, (European Rail Research Advisory Council), the
European Technology Platform (ETP) met today in plenary format in Brussels.
In addition to receiving keynote contributions from DGMOVE and DGResearch about
FP 9 (Horizon Europe) and the current state of play with the Shift2Rail programme
and the potential for a further rail JU (S2R 2030), the plenary meeting endorsed the
nomination of the team that will lead ERRAC for the next 3 years.
Outgoing President Professor Andy Doherty (UIC, CTO Network Rail) welcomed the
arrival of his successor Alberto Parrondo (UNIFE, VP Strategy Ground
Transportation Systems, Thales) who will be ably supported by deputy chair Carole
Desnost (UIC, Head of Research and Innovation SNCF) and Professor Sebastian
Stichel (Academia, KTH Sweden).
In his acceptance statement, Alberto Parrondo emphasised the importance of
teamwork and joined-up thinking not only within the rail sector but with other sectors
and he looked forward to the ability to define the future of rail transportation in this
manner.
In a further change in the leadership team, Nicolas Furio (UNIFE) handed over
responsibility for the ERRAC Secretariat to Simon Fletcher (UIC) who will be covering
the position in an ad-interim capacity whilst awaiting the arrival of Martin Brennan
who will take up the post of Head of Innovation at UIC and future ERRAC Secretary.
Note to editors:
ERRAC contributes to the creation of a single European rail sector with world class
skills and capabilities. ERRAC’s principle mission is to make the European rail sector
more competitive and sustainable in the sector’s prime task of moving people and
goods safely and efficiently around Europe.

body with both the competence and capability to help evolve the European rail sector
and make it more competitive, by fostering increased innovation and guiding
research efforts at European level.

undertakings, infrastructure managers, manufacturers, the European Commission,
the European Union Agency for Railways, EU Member States, academics and users’
groups.

In his acceptance statement, Alberto Parrondo emphasised the importance of teamwork and joined-up thinking not only within the rail sector but with other sectors and he looked forward to the ability to define the future of rail transportation in this manner. In a further change in the leadership team, Nicolas Furio (UNIFE) handed over responsibility for the ERRAC Secretariat to Simon Fletcher (UIC) who will be covering the position in an ad-interim capacity whilst awaiting the arrival of Martin Brennan who will take up the post of Head of Innovation at UIC and future ERRAC Secretary.
