- The HUMLOG Group organises a practitioner workshop on “Private and NGO/GO Collaboration in Emergency Situations and Development” in Jönköping, Sweden, on 24 November.
- The 8th Heinz Nixdorf Symposium has a track on humanitarian logistics. It will be held next year April in Paderborn. Papers can be submitted until 15 November. (H/T to the HUMLOG newsletter).
- ‘Vince Lombardi’ Polak on design for the other 90%. Seems to me that we don’t do too much of that in logistics.
HUMLOG
No sooner had I finished my post calling calling for more evidence on what works (and what doesn’t) in health/aid logistics, than an email message arrived from the HUMLOG institute, alerting me to an excellent opportunity to do so. The Supply Chain Forum, a professional journal on logistics, supply chain and operations management, will publish a special issue on humanitarian supply chains. Please see their call for papers for more information.
