Dear Colleagues,

On behalf of the organizing committee of WCRR, I would like to extend a heartfelt invitation to all of you to join the WCRR 2008.

The 8th World Congress on Railway Research will be held in Seoul Korea for 5 days from 18th to 22nd of May 2008.

World leading railway experts including professional researchers will present their insights into new railway technologies by sharing their experiences and expertise within 6 major areas including infrastructure, rolling stock and global railway issues under the theme of "Towards a Global Railway."

It is no doubt that the congress will provide invaluable opportunities for inter-relationships and social networking to all participating companies and experts.

I strongly believe that the congress will be a fruitful and successful event to all participants and world railway industries to the benefit to all concerned.

I eagerly look forward to your strong support and active participation to the congress for the success of this worldwide event.

Yours sincerely,
