OASIS |
Dr Habin Lee |
The project will facilitate access to information, public services and economic promotion by grouping online services in a unified portal following a user-centred logic. Federating services in a unique environment will enable public administrations to make better use of customer and businesses information and adapt public services (e-services) so they more often meet the needs of people and businesses. |

I-MEET |
Dr Habin Lee |
The project aims to develop an integrated eGovernment (EG) services evaluation framework considering perspective of citizens and service providers. I-MEET brings together Brunel University, American University of Beirut, and Qatar University. It is based on the integration of concepts in value chain management of services and business process transformation to optimise the system-wide value chain satisfaction for both providers and users versus the disintegrated approach where each stakeholder optimises its derived value of EGs at the expense of others. |

Humanitarian Supply Chain Management: Towards A Framework for Disaster Relief in Iran |
Dr Afshin Mansouri |
Natural disasters, specifically earthquakes are common in Iran. Over the past decades, the country has suffered from disastrous earthquakes including: Manjil-Rudbar earthquake in 1990 that killed 40,000 people and Bam earthquake in 2003 with 26,000 fatalities. In addition to earthquakes, Iran is subject to flood and drought with massive social and economic consequences. This visiting scholarship is planned as part of long term collaboration between Brunel University and the University of Tehran in the area of Humanitarian Supply Chain Management focusing on logistics issues for disaster relief in Iran. The project objectives include: scope planning and literature review to identify the gap in humanitarian supply chain management in Iran; exchange of ideas with other researchers as well as relief organisations in the UK; dissemination of initial results through a seminar; and developing a framework for follow-up research collaborations between the visiting scholar and the host. |
