围绕国家“一带一路”倡议,以中国铁路“走出去”发展战略为契机,重点面向东南亚国家和非洲,充分发挥中南大学土木工程和交通运输工程两个“双一流”建设学科的人才培养优势,开展了铁路工程国际化教育研究。创建了铁路工程国际化教育体系,发起成立了“一带一路”铁路国际人才教育联盟,打造铁路工程教育共同体,推动沿线国家大学在人才培养、科学研究、文化交流等方面的合作；推动中南大学与国家政府部门和大型建筑企业开展校企合作育人；助推中国铁路标准的国际认可,以人才培养为平台推动中国文化传播。研究成果主要内容概括为“一个联盟、两个高校、三种对象、四个机制、五项保障”。

Around the "the belt and road initiative", the "go globally" development strategy of China Railway (CR) is taken as an opportunity. Focusing on Southeast Asian countries and Africa, the talent training advantages of the two double first-class construction disciplines of Central South University, namely civil engineering and traffic and transportation engineering, are utilized fully, and the railway engineering international education is studied. The international education system of railway engineering is established, the railway international talent education alliance of the “belt and road” is initiated, and the railway engineering education community is built. The cooperation in talent training, scientific research, and cultural exchange among the universities along the route is promoted; the school-enterprise cooperative education between the Central South University and the national government departments and large construction enterprises is promoted; and the international accreditation of CR standard is promoted to promote the spread of Chinese culture taking the talent training as a platform. The main contents of the research results are summarized as "one alliance, two universities, three objects, four mechanisms, and five guarantees".
