The Supply Chain Research Centre is Europe's largest centre dedicated to supply chain research. It receives over £500,000 annually to conduct research projects funded by research councils and industry. In addition to research, the centre runs the Agile Supply Chain Research Club, a forum bringing together industrial partners and faculty to share knowledge and experiences managing supply chains. Industrial partners can also participate in larger research projects. The club improves supply chain management practice by creating a collaborative space where members share best practices and access supply chain research with leading companies.
