VDEI is an association of engineers with close professional ties to the rail industry. It not only represents railway engineers but also other engineers and companies who are in some way connected with the railway system. As the leading professional association, the VDEI founded its own academy back in 2010 with the aim of providing high-quality training in the railway sector. The training events of the VDEI are planned by the relevant departments and expert committees and implemented by the VDEI Service GmbH. The VDEI academy is currently expanding its programme, both conceptually and thematically, and is looking to cooperate with other institutions. The target is to establish the VDEI Akademie even more firmly in the market and, above all, make young colleagues aware of its existence as a platform and meeting point.

With DEHN + SÖHNE GmbH + Co.KG. they have won yet another cooperation partner.

DEHN, a leading, globally active family-owned company for electrotechnology, offers innovative products and solutions as well as comprehensive services in the field of surge protection, lightning protection and safety equipment.

The protection of equipment and systems in transport technology is one of the many applications upon which DEHN focuses its activities. Like VDEI, DEHN has its own academy and sets great store by sharing knowledge. The aim of the partnership is to boost scientific, technological training in the area of lightning and surge protection and safety equipment and to make it more accessible to professionals and students alike.

The company's continuous growth is based on more than 100 years of tradition and experience and, above all, the highest quality standards and consistent customer and market orientation alongside an extensive range of services, including the DEHNacademy training centre.

In future, training events for the VDEI such as workshops and seminars will also be held at the DEHN + SÖHNE training centre.
