Editorial
Dear Readers,
2024 appears as a special year for the CIT: this year marks the 20th anniversary of the CIT reorganization as an autonomous association. Still based in Bern, the CIT continues and reinforces its role through successive structures since 1902.
An illustration of this ongoing work is the 60th meeting of the CIV working group, held on 21 February. The 27th session of the CIM Committee took also place in March.
These milestone dates illustrate the important number of meetings organised, and of documents and analysis being issued, discussed and finalised during the past years. We thank all our members for this collaboration.
But let us look to the immediate future:
The Bernese Days will be organised on 6 and 7 June and the international seminar on waste management and transport by rail, on 7 May 2024 in Geneva.
A summary of recent events is also proposed to you, as the last UIC Audit Team Training, hosted by the CIT and illustrating our cooperation with the UIC.
Our support to members includes regular training sessions, such as the recent session with LTG Link in Lithuania, which could also be duplicated on demand for other members.
A general overview of the digitalization trends in the railway sector is also proposed, as well as a useful analysis on multimodal carriage of goods.
Happy reading.
We are looking forward to meet you at the Bernese Days 2024 and at our other events and meetings.

The CIV Working Group celebrates its 60th meeting
On 21 and 22 February, the 60th session of the CIV Working Group has been organised by the CIT in Bern and in a remote form. The meeting, chaired by Oliver Hirschfeld (DB), formed a specific session with this milestone number 60. An opportunity to celebrate the work carried out since the first meeting in 2007 and to thank the members at a get-together after the meeting.

The International Rail Transport Committee’s workshop for LTG LINK in Vilnius blessed with brilliant sunshine
A training and information event for LTG LINK led by CIT was held in Vilnius on 26 March 2024. The bright sunny weather in Vilnius provided an excellent backdrop for the in-depth event, which focused on important aspects of international rail passenger transport.

The CIM Committee met under its new leadership and voted on important changes to the CIT product range
The 27th meeting of the CIT's CIM Committee was held on 28 March 2024 in Bern at CIT headquarters and online under its new chairperson, Ms Julie Meunier (head of legal affairs Fret SNCF). The main item on the agenda at this meeting was the approval of the CIT General Secretariat's proposals for upgrades to its freight traffic products, taking into account three megatrends currently affecting the rail sector: digitalisation, liberalisation and multimodality.
