TRESPAD Conference

International Conference to launch the 5th Edition of the TRESPAD Campaign
10 June 2026 – UIC Headquarters, Paris

What is TRESPAD?
Trespass Awareness Day (TRESPAD) is UIC’s second global initiative, focused on raising awareness of the dangers of trespassing on railway tracks and premises, and preventing accidents, incidents, and casualties.

The Trespass and Suicide Prevention Conference, held to launch the 5th TRESPAD campaign, aims to:

Share key activities and programmes currently in place
Identify gaps and additional needs
Explore how individual organisations can contribute to preventing trespass and suicides
Strengthen collaboration across the rail industry on these critical issues

Since 2022, this annual conference has brought together up to 200 experts from almost 30 countries to exchange knowledge and best practices on trespass and suicide prevention, and to discuss measures to reduce incidents and casualties.

In 2026 the slogan of both campaigns will be: “A year has passed, but the danger has not!”

Technical Visits and Exhibition

Both conferences will be followed by technical visits on 11 June 2026 (co-organised with SNCF Réseau).

On 9 and 10 June, railway technology manufacturers will have the opportunity to showcase innovative solutions designed to enhance safety at level crossings and along railway tracks at UIC Headquarters.
