Welcome to the Website of INFRATRAIN, a Series of Events in Applied INFRAstructure Research and Policy TRAINing, designed to promote the training of junior researchers like PhD-students, post-docs, and young professionals from ministries, regulatory agencies and the private sector (Learn more about participants here).

INFRATRAIN is designed as a forum for exchanging ideas of established research and work in progress, whereas the mutual development of new ideas by on-site communication is also seen as a major objective. Thereby INFRATRAIN covers the theoretical and applied topics most relevant for modern European infrastructure policy.

The seventh INFRATRAIN event will take place from October 5 to 10, 2009 on the premises of Berlin University of Technology. It is dedicated to the issue of Infrastructure Modeling, Transport, Energy and Institutions.

Participants are offered alternative training sessions with 10-15 participants (for the topics of training sessions click here). Beside that, attendees can present their own research work in seminars. Keynote lectures of high level researchers complete the program.

INFRATRAIN is coordinated by the Workgroup for Infrastructure Policy (WIP) at Berlin University of Technology (TU Berlin). Scientific coordinators of INFRATRAIN are Prof. Dr. Georg Meran (Dean of Graduate Studies at DIW Berlin / TU Berlin) and Prof Dr. Christian von Hirschhausen ( TU Berlin / DIW Berlin / TU Dresden).
