We are looking for motivated students to perform research and training activities, thereby offering distinctive inquiry-based learning opportunities. To integrate research and teaching, the research centre regularly organises internships for undergraduate and graduate students engaged in research for school projects, Master's and PhD thesis, and other academic pursuits. Consequently, students and faculty (including student supervisors and railML coordinators) are involved in international research and collaborative projects. The findings of the research are made available as open source and published as new railML versions incorporating new technologies, as well as in scientific journals.
