WSEI University has signed a cooperation agreement with the Office of Rail Transport

We are extremely pleased to have signed this agreement with your University today. It is a bilateral agreement, so we look forward to mutual benefits – on the one hand, the exchange of experience and the joint organization of conferences, and on the other, we warmly invite your students and academic staff to visit the most modern Train Drivers Examination and Monitoring Centre in Europe. This agreement provides an opportunity for your students to undertake internships or traineeships- said Marcin Trela, Vice President of the Office of Rail Transport. What we expect from the University is to provide students – young enthusiasts and future professionals passionate about railways – as well as to share knowledge and experience with your highly qualified and experienced academic staff.

As part of the cooperation, the agreement includes the organization of professional internships for students, co-organization of seminars, scientific conferences, courses, and training sessions, as well as joint research and implementation projects. Additionally, students will have the opportunity to participate in study visits and practical classes organized by the Office of Rail Transport (UTK). The cooperation also covers education, scientific research, and promotional activities.
