ISCRiM 2010

I am currently attending the 2010 seminar of the International Supply Chain Risk Management Network (ISCRiM) here in the UK, which is why there won’t be too many – if any – posts from me this week. ISCRiM is perhaps the network for the elite among supply chain risk researchers, and since the seminar is open to invited guests and members only, and since I am not a member, I feel honored to have been invited into this distinguished circle of academics and professionals.

Home turf

The event is hosted by Loghborough University, which take me back to many familiar places, as I did my MSc in GIS on Transportation GIS at the University of Leicester, just a stone’s throw away from Loughborough. In fact, it’s even in the same “shire”, namely Leicestershire.

My paper

Of course I did not travel all this way with nothing in my bag. I do have a presentation to make. For those of you who have read my paper on Bad Locations, Bad Logistics? that I presented at the WCTR conference two months ago, this will be oddly familiar, as it is basically the same paper, but in a much more condensed version. Nonetheless, since all my public appearances go on my blog, here it is again:

For the record, this post is being published at the same time that I am scheduled to speak and present this:

ISCRiM

The ISCRiM is a network of academians interested in how to handle different types of risks in the supply chain. The main purpose of the ISCRIM-network is to speed up, and improve, the research within “Supply Chain Risk Management”. Founded in 2001, it has now grown to include 36 members in more than 20 countries. ISCRiM holds annual research seminars, open to members and invited speakers only, and publishes newsletters 2-3 times per year, highlighting the latest research,journal articles, books, PhD theses and other tidbits of interest to the supply chain risk research community.
