WELCOME TO THE YOUNG RAILWAY PROFESSIONALS
"To endorse Institution organised events which seek to inspire professionals and encourage networking."
Young Railway ProfessionalsThe Young Railway Professionals have come to together through the younger members' sections of the Rail Engineers Forum (REF), which is comprised of the Institution of Railway Operators (IRO), Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), Institution of Railway Signal Engineers (IRSE), Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET) and Permanent Way Institution (PWI).
It is our aim to inspire young professionals to see the wider rail industry and understand the deeper perspective on their role within the railway. We also hope to assist young professionals to network and build up links across the industry, benefiting your career in the long-term.
What are we doing together:
- Joint combined calendar, where all members can pick and choose events, conferences and speeches from across the railway spectrum.
- Joint international visits, where costs can be kept down and greater international contacts can be accessed through the increased diversity. The first international trip was a three day event in Munich in November 2009.
- Combined social and networking events – including our annual Black Tie Dinner, where members can come together and celebrate the past years achievements and look ahead to the challenges ahead.

The Railway Engineers Forum
The Railway Engineers Forum (REF) is a multi-disciplinary body drawn from those Professional Institutions with strong railway interests:
- The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE)
- The Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET)
- The Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE)
- The Institution of Railway Operators (IRO)

The aim of the REF is to harmonise the various strengths of the constituent Institutions in devising and implementing their programmes of activities in support of the railway community. This will encompass conferences, seminars, lectures, training, information services, publications and statements of policy to Government and other Regulatory Bodies. The harmonisation process will aim to avoid duplication of effort and/or duplication of events, to promote joint ventures whenever this is advantageous and to maximise the visibility of such activities to the widest possible audience.
