CTL will supply an built-in, multidisciplinary programme of analysis, post-graduate and govt training, know-how switch, and coverage advocacy for enhancing the mobility of individuals and items.
Debjit Roy, college at IIMA and one of many co-founders of CTL, mentioned, “Our goal for establishing CTL is to contribute to bettering the effectivity of multi-modal transportation methods and provide chain logistics, thereby selling financial development and fostering sustainable improvement. We now have college coming in from throughout the institutes which have joined the centre as members.”
A gaggle of internationally-acclaimed professors with analysis accomplishments from North American, European and Asian universities have joined the centre’s analysis advisory committee to information its improvement and help its tutorial actions.
Errol D’Souza, director, IIMA, who inaugurated the centre underlined that the custom of IIMA is to carry out innovative analysis not solely within the administration sciences but in addition in socio-economic improvement.
He indicated that the aim of the centre can be to seek out methods to cut back transportation and logistics prices, to advertise social inclusion and to handle environmental and sustainability points.
The IIMA Centre for Transportation and Logistics will organise a sequence of webinars, workshops and panel discussions periodically all year long. The centre may even have rolling alternatives for postdoctoral analysis and distinguished visiting scholar positions.
