Imagine stepping aboard a train that carries not only passengers, but ideas, innovation, and a shared global commitment to making railways safer for all.
In 2026, we invite the international rail community to travel with us across landscapes that reflect today’s most pressing challenges and emerging opportunities in railway safety.
Just like the railway line connecting Valença to Vila Real de Santo António, the sector also faces a complex journey, where each stage — each station, each infrastructure, each technical decision — contributes to building a more resilient system.
Join us as we explore key topics shaping the future of rail safety: cross‑border coordination, asset maintenance, resilience to extreme natural events, emergency management, frontline workers and leadership and reinforce the importance of international cooperation in responding to emerging risks and knowledge sharing as a driver of continuous improvement.
Railway safety is shaped by multiple perspectives. IRSC 2026 will be the space where these perspectives meet, uniting experts, innovators and decision‑makers to help advance the future of rail safety.
Be part of this journey. Be part of the future of rail safety.
