Abstract
This paper provides with a panorama of the review conducted on existing studies and structured information from various sources related to rail education and skills development. The purpose of this review was to gather insights from previous EU projects, research papers, web portals, and reports to better understand the current landscape and teaching approaches in rail higher education. To give a comprehensible visualization, preferably in a website format, a simple but tangible concept has been developed, facilitating a smooth connection between the concrete real-world application and more abstract fields of developments within the scope of study.
