Research opportunity for the logistics sector (with a focus on retail and food supply chains)

As part of our work to explore the dependence of global supply chains on critical infrastructure resilience, we are holding industry workshops to help us understand the challenges and opportunities for change.

The Resilience Shift has partnered with the team at Arup Logistics who initially conducted research into the UK supply chain landscape during 2018. This report, jointly authored with Jonathan Han (University of Manchester) will be published shortly.

The Resilience Shift aims to build on this research by investigating these inter-dependencies at a global scale and in particular exploring the relationship between the resilience of the critical infrastructure, and the dependency on it of our global supply chains.

We are seeking input and further collaboration from those working in the logistics sector or whose businesses are dependent on global supply chains. We are particularly interested in the views of retail and food logistics providers and customers, freight forwarders and transport operators, as well as supporting organisations/associations and specialist research institutions in this sector.

 

To contribute to this work:

SURVEY

An online survey is available to enable all those with experience and opinions to share them to contribute to our research. Please share this link with interested colleagues world-wide.

WORKSHOPS

You can also register an interest in attending one of our worldwide workshops, with an initial pilot on 6 February in Manchester, United Kingdom.

Workshops are planned for:

  • Manchester, UK – 6 February 2019 (3-5.30 pm). More.
  • New York, USA – 27 February 2019. More.

‘Incredibly uplifting and hopeful’ – Brunel lecture series moves climate action forward

Speaking at the closing lecture, Seth Schultz admitted that he had previously been sceptical that the engineering community was willing to make changes in order to deal with the climate emergency. But the profession has shown that it is, and this response was consistent around the world, and from very senior or retired engineers, right down to new graduates.
