December 22, 2008 · 1 Comment

No, this is not about women and leadership, but yes about links between skills, gender, and logistics performance – a comparative survey of logisticians and their managers in three fields: business logistics, humanitarian logistics, and military logistics. Click here to fill in the survey – and send the link to your colleagues in the field!

Calls for humanitarian logistics research

October 6, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Good news for researchers in humanitarian logistics, there are more and more conferences setting up specific tracks, and a number of special issues calling for papers on humanitarian logistics, humanitarian supply chains, humanitarian operations… Here’s a bit of a selection:

Apart from POMS’ humanitarian group and INFORMS’ humanitarian track, now also the Transportation Research Forum (TRF) agreed to have a track on humanitarian logistics. (Abstract deadline Oct 31, 2008; contact Paul Larson). A track on “Humanitarian actions and operations” has also been included to the International Conference on Crisis Response and Management (ISCRAM) conference. (Paper deadline Jan 11, 2009, contact Alexander Blecken.) Last but not least, both NOFOMA 2009 (Jönköping) and LRN 2009 (Cardiff) have humanitarian logistics tracks! (no wonder, both are arranged by HUMLOG Group members ;-) )

Now to some interesting CFPs for special issues of different journals:
- Production and Operations Management calls for papers on “POM research on emerging markets“. Deadline Dec 1, 2008
- Interfaces calls for papers on “Humanitarian applications: doing good with good OR“. Deadline May 15, 2009

Updates can always be found on our wall :-)
