The International Supply Chain Risk Management Network (ISCRiM) is a network of academics interested in how to handle different types of risks in the supply chain. The main purpose of the ISCRiM-network is to speed up, and improve, the research within “Supply Chain Risk Management”. I came across this network when I did some background research for my book review on Supply Chain Risk, a book edited by Claire Brindley.
The ISCRIM Newsletter
Founded in 2001, it has now grown to include 35 members in more than 20 countries. A must-read on the ISCRiM web site are the ISCRiM newsletters. If you want to be kept up to date on the most current research in supply chain risk you should not miss out on those newsletters. Published 1-2 times annually, they usually contain a list of the most recent publications (articles or books or dissertations), conferences, links and other miscellaneous bits of information.
Update 2010
I attended the ISCRIM seminar in 2010, meeting so many interesting researchers, hearing about so many interesting topics and basically really enjoying myself surrounded by supply chain risk on all sides. Since there weren’t any other with similar interests at my research institute back then, That was a whole new experience to me.
Update 2015
ISCRIM does now have a new website, hosted at TU Dortmund in Germany.
