Attendance to WCRT 2022
For the first time since its inception in 2011, the WCRT 2022 will combine two forms of participation : physical presence and on-line participation.
This is explained both by the strategic goal of the UIC to expand the participation to all regional members of the UIC and other organisations interested in promoting rail education and training, as well as the wish to facilitate the participation in the Congress of those delegates who will not have the opportunity to travel due to constraints imposed by COVID-19.
Besides discussing promising topics of promoting new approaches to rail training, the Congress is also aimed at new content to reflect the current situation and outlook as COVID-19 is challenging us in our way of working, living, and learning. WCRT 2022 is the moment to reinvent ourselves and investigate innovative ways of learning and developing.
Participants :
Physical attendance will include the participation in all the events, technical visits, gala dinner, cultural visits.
On-line participants will have access to complete on-line broadcasting of the sessions and will have the opportunity to ask questions to speakers and to participate in other interactive activity (e.g., voting, downloading presentations, chatting with speakers, addressing the moderators, visiting e-catalogue of exhibitors and chat with them) using the WCRT Website as registered users.
Speakers :
The same that above mentioned applies to speakers who will opt for physical presence.
Some speakers might also participate in remote mode, with live presentations or pre-recorded video material, commenting it on-line, answering questions asked by the participants online or in a chat box. Technical details of virtual presenting will be coordinated after consideration of presented abstracts and speakers’ preferences.
