Dear colleague,

We are pleased to announce the International Congress on High-speed Rail: Technologies and Long Term Impacts to be held at the University of Castilla La Mancha (Spain) on October 4^th-6^th, 2017.

Considering that High-speed Rail has been in operation for more than half a century in Japan and thirty-five years in Europe, this Congress aims to discuss and debate the long-term Technological, Socio-economic and Transport/Territorial impacts of High-speed Rail and to develop a better understanding of the planning criteria for the future.

As you can see in the attached Call for Papers, contributions are welcome on a wide range of topics and participants are encouraged to take part in this event by sending an abstract before April 5th, 2017. Due to the relevance of the topic, our aim is to contribute with the publication of different Special Issues in high-quality journals gathering some of the papers presented at the Congress (authors interested in this possibility should consider the requirements established in the Congress Website).

For more details, please check the Congress web page:

Finally, we would be really grateful if you could distribute this Call for Papers among those of your colleagues that may be interested on the Congress topics.

We are looking forward to seeing you next October in Spain.

Kind regards,

Inmaculada Mohíno
