About the event

For the next CTS Seminar, we are welcoming Tom Cherrett, Professor of Logistics and Transport Management at Southampton University.

Building on the theme of Transport and Labour which has guided our recent seminars, Tom will give an overview of how drones are being used across a range of industrial sectors, focusing on their scope for assisting medical logistics. He will focus on experiences and examples from trials undertaken in the Solent region.

This will be a hybrid event. Please feel free to join us and Tom on UWE Bristol's Frenchay campus. There is an option for in-person tickets below.
