­Hosted by the Management School’s Centre for Supply Chain Research and funded by the University of Liverpool Management School's (ULMS) and McMaster University's Global Partnerships Fund, this workshop provides an excellent opportunity to gain first hand insights from specialist researchers and industry leaders on the benefits from creating more sustainable and resilient maritime transportation systems.

During the event, you will discover examples of best practice in transport decarbonisation and economic revitalisation, and how improvements in infrastructure and operations can positively impact the broader supply chain, and the cities and surrounding areas where they exist.

As well as enjoying 15 minutes expert talks from port and freight operators (Hamilton-Oshawa Port Authority -HOPA Ports-, Freightliner, Peel Ports Group), regional cluster organisations (Mersey Maritime) and researchers from the ULMS and McMaster University, you will also have the opportunity to take part in roundtable discussions on the future opportunities for Hamilton (Canada) and Liverpool (UK).
