SUMMARY:CORE Connect Webinar Series - Collaborative Rail R&D - Successes\, Challenges and Future Opportunities
DESCRIPTION:Funded jointly by participating Australian rail organisations and the Commonwealth Government’s Cooperative Research Centres Program\, the Rail Manufacturing CRC began operations in 2014 for a term of six years\, with a focus of driving the development of new products\, technologies and supply chain networks to enhance the competitiveness of Australia’s rail manufacturing industry. Following the Rail Manufacturing CRC’s closure in June 2020\, this CORE Presentation will focus on sharing the Centre’s project successes\, challenges and future opportunities to pursue in rail R&D. \nWhat are the main take-aways/key learnings? \nThe presentation will provide an overview of the following: \n\nhistory of the industry push to set up a Rail Manufacturing CRC including the On Track to 2040 consultation;\nan overview of the RMCRC\, its focus on addressing the priorities of On Track to 2040 and the outcomes of these projects;\nthe significant changes the heavy haul and rail manufacturing sector over the last six years\, the consolidation of the industry and the effect on R&D;\nthe emerging skills shortage and the changing multi disciplinary technical skill sets to address future rail needs;\nfuture domestic opportunities; and\nlikely future R&D priorities (from an RMCRC perspective).\n\nKeynote Speaker: Stuart Thomson\, CEO of the Rail Manufacturing CRC \nStuart completed his PhD at the UNSW before undertaking postdoctoral studies at the Max Planck Institute for Coal Research in Germany. Upon returning to Australia\, he worked at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO)\, where he set up and led one of Australia’s key Nuclear and Radiological forensic and monitoring programs. Stuart moved to Note Printing Australia\, where he led the Technical Development group responsible for the initial development of the new banknote series\, banknote quality evaluation and the counterfeit analysis laboratory. Following this\, he led the Grape and Wine Research and Development Corporation\, which funded R&D\, extension and marketing research for the Australian wine sector\, prior to commencing as CEO of Rail Manufacturing CRC in April 2015\, a membership organisation devoted to the development of new innovation for the rail sector. \nConference on Railway Excellence (CORE) 2021 is presenting at CORE\, 21-23 June 2021 in Perth.\nTo learn more about the CORE program and to register visit this website\nCORE Connect webinar series will showcase presenters from the conference in the lead up to June 2021.\nJoin the mailing list to keep up to date on CORE and the webinar series.\nSupported by the Rail Technical Society of Australia (RTSA)
