The Iron Rhine is the railway that connects the ports of Antwerp (Belgium) and Mönchengladbach (Germany), which crosses the Netherlands. Since a significant part of this railway has been out of use, the Belgian government requested to reinstate it. The maintenance company ProRail assigned Van der Meer & van Tilburg to organize public participation sessions for residents and stakeholder groups involved with the Iron Rhine. These sessions where held for the study Environment Effect Report Iron Rhine, which was executed by the Dutch Rail Infrastructure Management. During these sessions residents and other stakeholders discussed on several issues and solutions for the railway route. Van der Meer & van Tilburg performed the task of independent session facilitator.
