Are you Logistics Smart? That’s the question being asked by Low Carbon SMEs at Aston University at a day-long workshop being held on the 11th March 2020.
The goal of the workshop, which is part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund, is twofold. Firstly, to provide an overview of the current challenges for improving logistics and transport operations, and secondly to identify and share best practices to reduce environmental and financial costs.
The day-long workshop will involve presentations from key players in the UK freight logistics and transport sector and a roundtable with experts from industry and academia.
