About EU-RAIL**\n\nThe Europe’s Rail Joint Undertaking (EU-RAIL) is a public-private partnership between the European Union and the rail sector, established by Council Regulation (EU)2021/2085 of 19/11/2021. The EU-RAIL, located in Brussels, is responsible for implementing the EU-RAIL Research and Innovation Programme, funded jointly by the Union and Industry Members of the Rail Sector, with a view to contributing to the European Union's Policy priorities and more specifically the Sustainable and Smart Mobility Strategy of December 2020.\n\nEU-RAIL is the legal and universal successor of Shift2Rail Joint Undertaking (S2R JU) in respect of all contracts, including employment contracts and grant agreements, liabilities and acquired property of the S2R JU. The EU-RAIL Programme will last until end of 2031.\n\nThe EU-RAIL integrated Programme is structured around three main pillars, the Innovation Pillar, the System Pillar and the Deployment Group, to achieve an ambitious transformation of rail with innovative solutions.  \nBy 2031, EU-RAIL will have implemented research and innovation activities totalling about EUR 2 billion since the establishment of S2R.\n\nThe transition to this new partnership and impact on its mandate requires EU-RAIL to adapt its financial management organisation and focus on specific levers for improvement that can either be immediately implemented or brought to the attention of the JU for further consideration.\n\nFurthermore, the SBA also aims to improve efficiencies and harmonisation of the rules through intensified operational collaboration and by exploring economies of scale, including the establishment of back-office arrangements which should provide horizontal support functions to all1  the joint undertakings.\n\nThose Back-Office Arrangements (hereinafter BOA) should make it easier to achieve greater impact and harmonisation on common points while retaining a certain degree of flexibility to meet the specific needs of each joint undertaking.
