Technical Meetings
Regular Technical Meetings - throughout the region
Technical Meetings are generally held in March, July and November each year. The technical meetings are held in different locations throughout Australasia and Asia to facilitate access for all members. Details of meetings can be found under the Events>Technical Meetings menu.
At each Technical Meeting there is a range of papers, usually presented on a Friday. The papers are generally selected from those submitted in response to a public "call for papers" and will usually be on a particular theme. Technical papers are peer reviewed and are published on this website (accessible only by members). There is usually a field visit on the Saturday of the Technical Meeting, where members can inspect new projects or sites of interest to railway systems engineers.
The Annual General Meeting is held in March or April each year and is combined with the Technical Meeting. Officers and committee members are elected at the Annual General Meeting.
AusRail & AusRail Plus
There is an IRSE stream at every AusRail and AusRail Plus meeting. AusRAIL is the largest annual rail event in the Asia-Pacific and provides a forum for senior executives to discuss future policy, investment and the latest technological developments in the rail sector. AusRAIL is the only rail event to have the official endorsement and active participation of the 5 main railway associations in Australasia and the broad support of the rail industry.
The prestigious IRSE Chairman's Award is presented at the AusRail Gala Dinner.

Local Meetings
Local meetings are much less formal than the technical meetings. At these meetings one or two speakers will give a presentation on a subject of interest. There are no formal papers prepared, with the emphasis being on open discussion and interchange of ideas.
The local meeting details for the next few months are shown on the Coming Events section and the full programs are available in the Local Meetings page.
