Chartered status update
Results from our recent survey showed that an overwhelming majority of respondents believe the time is now right for us to apply for a Royal Charter and, as a result, Council has given approval for a formal vote to be taken on this matter at the reconvened AGM on Wednesday 15 May 2024 at 18:00 BST.
A charter provides formal recognition of the professionalism of our membership and would mark our pre-eminent expertise in global railway signalling, communications and train control. It would position us at the right level in future dealings with governments, other professional organisations and academia across the world.
More information and FAQs covering all aspects of a Royal Charter are available below and those elligible to vote have had the opportunity to vote by proxy ahead of the AGM which was adjourned on Thursday 25 April. If you have voted by proxy and wish to change your vote, please contact us at contact@irse.org with your changes and membership number.
If you have any further questions, please contact us at contact@irse.org
IRSE members who are eligible to vote are those who have paid their 2023/24 subscriptions and are corporate members (Associate Members AMIRSE, Members MIRSE, Fellows FIRSE and Honorary Fellows HonFIRSE)
