RI.Logistica: Setting the Scene

Apr 6, 2021
To open the RI.Logistica conference, experts and high-level speakers from academia, research infrastructures and international organisations will introduce the latest trends in logistics and supply chain management. They will share how the field has been affected due to the on-going global pandemic and how they have quickly adapted to the situation and developed new ways of working.

How has the logistics trade evolved over time? What is a UNICEF Supply Chain Maturity Model and is it applicable to research infrastructures? How do we manage users’ expectations? What are the key challenges in building a Big Science facility? Our speakers will address these and many other curious questions during Session 1 on 19 May 2021 between 9:25-11:00 CET.
