Who we are:
The ISCRiM (International Supply Chain Risk Management) network is a team of researchers and practitioners engaged in analyzing, developing and disseminating evidence and good practices associated with managing supply chains and the associated risks. The main purpose of the ISCRiM-network was to speed up, and improve, the research within “Supply Chain Risk Management” by leveraging our joint knowledge within the network. The international network was founded in 2001 by a small group of active researchers from the UK, US and Sweden.
Purpose:
The primary aim is to facilitate rapid advancement of knowledge and understanding in the field through pro-active engagement and collaboration amongst key researchers and practitioners in this evolving field. The members regularly exchange and share findings and developments with others in the network.
A second primary aim of the network is to provide a core of expertise, information and knowledge which can be accessed by other interested researchers, practitioners and policy makers engaged in supply chain management and the risks associated with increasingly complex and global supply chain configurations and the greater risk exposure.

First ever ISCRiM meeting held at the Crewe Campus of Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU).
ISCRiM was started by Clare Brindley and Prof Bob Ritchie from MMU and the photograph includes Clare Brindley, Bob Ritchie, John Morris from MMU, George Zsisidin, Robert Lindroth, Andreas Norman and Ulf Paulsson, who were all founder members.
This was ISCRiM’s first dinner held at the White Lion Hotel, Cheshire, England. The initial meeting grew from a paper presented by John Morris in Canada.
