Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies

The Australian Key Centre of Teaching and Research in Transport Management was established in July 1995 as a joint venture between the University of Sydney and Monash University. ITLS grew out of two existing Centres - The Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies within the Graduate School of Business at the University of Sydney, and the Monash Transport Group within the Department of Civil Engineering at Monash University. The Institute at Sydney and the Monash Transport Group were leading Australian Centres in transport management and traffic education and research in their own right prior to the establishment of the Australian Key Centre. In January 1998, ITLS Sydney relocated to the Faculty of Economics, renamed in January 2000 as the Faculty of Economics and Business.

The primary objective of the Institute is to undertake graduate teaching, management development programs, grant and contract research and development in transport studies and logistics in collaboration with key players having an interest in transport studies and its applications.

ITLS provides education programs at a range of levels: PhD, Masters, Graduate Diploma and Graduate Certificate programs, continuing education workshops, management development seminars and industry programs. In addition, ITS also conducts transport and logistics related research and has an extensive program of related activities including publications, participation at conferences, software development and links to other leading transport research institutes.
