The Institute is now closely linked to the Department of Supply Chain Management (SCM) in the I.H. Asper School of Business. The Institute’s mission is to facilitate economic prosperity, environmental sustainability, and social advancement, through research and education that links businesses, governments, not-for-profit organizations, educators, students, and the community. Its mandate is to: (1) conduct rigorous and relevant research in transport and logistics; (2) train transportation researchers, policy makers and practitioners; and (3) disseminate research results and policy implications at conferences and workshops, and through reports and white papers. |
