During the workshops, the open points regarding the project and the possibility of further cooperation between universities were actively discussed. Prof. Pablo Garrido from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid gave a speech on the topic "Talgo technology and Talgo new ICE-L trains for Germany". Dr. Ulrich Maschek presented the key and modern control and safety technology that is used for the high-speed railway in Germany.

The following excursions are organized by the Professorship for Railway Signalling and Safety Technology:

• Integrated Railway Laboratory at TU Dresden

Excursions offer an opportunity for the foreign lecturers from the partner universities to get an initial overview of major projects and advanced high-speed rail technologies in Europe. The theoretically conveyed knowledge can be illustrated in practice and deepened by a wide range of additional information.

The project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union.
