With Jean-Bernard Kovarik, we have signed the framework contract for research and innovation between SNCF Réseau and IFSTTAR.
Our teams have already established longstanding and fruitful relations. A number of projects have already been carried out or are ongoing in many different areas of rail infrastructure: materials and civil engineering for the design and maintenance of network components; sustainable development and the circular economy; control-command systems…
I am delighted this contract will enable us to further strengthen such coooperation. Indeed, IFSTTAR’s recognised excellence represents an asset for building tomorrow’s high-performance network.
Many thanks to Laurent Boutin, Juliette Renaud and Régis de Montigny.
Jean-Jacques Thomas, innovation director, SNCF Réseau and president, Futura-Mobility
