Horizon 2020 includes the Joint Undertaking Shift2Rail. This research program with a great number of members, has formally only one member from Finland, the Transport Infrastructure Agency (through EUROC). A last call round is opening in the winter 2019–2020, part of it open also to non-members. For the next program period 2021–27 (Horizon Europe) a new Joint Undertaking is in planning "Transforming Europe's Rail System" and probably successfully.
Together with Shift2Rail we organize an information meeting in Helsinki
