The predecessors of the conference are the annual international scientific and technical conferences "Development of scientific and innovative activities in transport", held on the basis of the Ukrainian State University of Railway Transport since its inception in 1930 to 2018. The conferences were regularly attended by faculty and researchers of the departments, leading specialists and employees of railways and industry enterprises. The theme of the conference was constantly expanding, which led to a change in its format.

Implementation of the idea of ​​conducting a conference that covers a wide range of important issues, interesting scholars and industrialists in Ukraine and the world, has become possible thanks to a rich education of the university in conducting international conferences, in particular:
