Supply Chain Council
Members of COSCR are keen on establishing long-term collaboration and relationships with businesses. We welcome managers from commercial companies, governmental agencies and research institutions who have an interest in supply chain management and local economies to join our Supply Chain Council. As part of the Supply Chain Council we can work together to contribute to local and global business communities and influence policy makers by conducting joint research projects and facilitating knowledge transfer.
Commercial research and Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) project
We work with commercial organisations providing research and consultancy services. We can map and model supply chains and networks, and work together on the joint application of research grants.
