ECP Post COVID-19 Restart: Conversation on the Future of Transport & Logistics

Join us for the first online event of a series of initiatives to be carried out by the RMIT Enabling Capability Platforms under the umbrella of an ECP Post COVID-19 Restart Strategy. It is organised in collaboration with the RMIT Global Transport and Logistics Research Group.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had significant negative impacts of the global economy. Although Australia has been relatively successful in its efforts to contain its spread, the damage to the economy and people’s lives and livelihoods is significant. One indisputable conclusion is that the implications are likely to last many years and decades ahead. As the sector responsible to the movement and delivery of people and goods in society, the Transport and Logistics sector has played a vital role in ensuring that our society and economy retains a level of normalcy. Like other essential sectors, it has ensured delivery of essential services under highly strenuous conditions.

Join us to hear a panel of industry practitioners representing difference industries share their experiences, observations and views on the COVID-19 situation and reflect on how this situation is likely to impact the sector in the medium to long-term.

Moderator 

Dr. Victor Gekara - Director of the College of Business and Law's Global Transport and Logistics Research Group and Leader of the Skills, Training and Industry Research Network, RMIT
