CORE is Australasia’s premier railway engineering and technology conference, featuring over 80 peer-reviewed papers and international keynote speakers addressing critical issues in railway policy, operations, and engineering. Expect insightful presentations, dynamic discussions, networking opportunities, technical tours—and, of course, a bit of socialising.
CORE 2025 will deliver the high standard of content you’ve come to expect, with a distinct New Zealand touch. Our theme, Kaitiaki, embodies the concept of guardianship over the sky, sea, and land—just as we, as railway professionals, are the guardians of rail’s role in sustainable freight and passenger transport.
