SUMMARY:SDG Week Seminar: Resilience and Sustainability through Multimodality in Freight Transport
DESCRIPTION:The Hanken School of Economics is hosting a key seminar as part of SDG Week\, focusing on the theme of resilience and sustainability in freight transport. This event will explore innovative solutions and strategies for enhancing multimodal transport networks in the face of ongoing disruptions. Join us for an engaging discussion with 2 leading researchers: \n\nKetki Kulkarni\, Postdoctoral Researcher at HUMLOG Institute\nTamara Kirkwood-Wright\, Doctoral Researcher at Supply Chain Management and Social Responsibility\, Hanken School of Economics\n\nResilience and Sustainability in Focus\nThe European transport network\, particularly in the Baltics\, is increasingly strained due to the evolving geopolitical landscape and the aftereffects of climate change. In response\, ReMuNet (Resilient Multimodal Transport Networks) is working to enhance the resilience of freight transport by exploring alternative routing options and strategies to mitigate disruptions. \nThis seminar will explore how multimodality—utilizing different transportation modes such as road\, rail\, air\, and waterways—can enhance the sustainability and robustness of supply chains. The session is divided into two parts\, each providing unique insights into addressing these critical challenges. \nPart 1: Social Sciences and Humanities Approach to Resilient Transport\nThe first part of the webinar will cover a qualitative study led by Hanken\, focusing on: \n\nDefining disruptions from the perspective of logistics operators and stakeholders.\nIdentifying frequently occurring and severe disruptions.\nUnderstanding how these disruptions are managed.\n\nThis study draws from 20 in-depth interviews with infrastructure managers\, logistics operators\, government agencies\, and key stakeholders across various transport modes (road\, rail\, air\, waterways) in the EU network. The findings classify disruptions by their severity\, cause\, and duration\, and assess the resilience of different transport modes based on stakeholder perceptions. \nPart 2: Humanitarian Aid to Ukraine through the North-Sea Baltic Corridor\nIn the second half\, the discussion shifts to a real-world case study involving humanitarian aid delivery to Ukraine via the North-Sea Baltic corridor. This case study examines how logistics and supply chain management can support humanitarian operations in conflict zones\, particularly in light of the complexities posed by modern warfare. \nLed by Hanken\, this case study addresses: \n\nThe changing nature of conflicts since the Cold War.\nChallenges faced in delivering humanitarian aid in war zones.\nHow advancements in technology\, disinformation\, and weapon availability have impacted humanitarian logistics.\n\nThis analysis underscores the importance of resilient\, multimodal transport systems in responding to humanitarian needs in complex conflict settings. \nWhy Attend?\n\nGain a deeper understanding of the role of multimodality in enhancing transport resilience.\nLearn from cutting-edge research on managing disruptions in freight networks.\nExplore the intersection of transport and humanitarian logistics in conflict areas.\n\nRegister here.
