The IRSE association promotes professional exchange among members in Switzerland and neighbouring countries. Technology and innovations relating to signalling, telecommunications and automation are discussed in an informal setting.

The Swiss Section organises several events each year, the aim of which is to promote professional exchange among the participants. The events are primarily technically oriented and preferably take place at facilities under construction or in operation.

The aims of the events are:

•     to broaden and deepen knowledge in the field of railway technology
•     to enable an informal exchange of experience between members
•     to collect new ideas for current activities and thus contribute to their further education.

The reports of previous events are listed in the section "Events" and give an optimal impression of our activities.
