2005 - Aug - Pore - Presidential Address | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Jacques PORE, ALSTOMIt is a real pleasure, and I have to confess that I feel a bit nervous, to be standing here in front of this distinguished assembly, being the fifth non-British IRSE President from the start of our Institution in 1912. To introduce this new Presidential Year, I should like to make an address that will include 4 parts. I shall start by giving an overview of my career and experiences, underlining for you all these items that have played some kind of role with rail transport and, as quite a few of you may know, not only with signalling. Most of these steps have probably contributed to my presence here. I shall then continue with the lessons that I have learnt ... so far. The third part of the paper itself will propose a vision and views about the future of the profession, and it will include ideas for this IRSE 2005-2006 year. And the address will be concluded by a sort of surprise, preceding my wishes for a fruitful year all together. |
