In this roundtable session, speakers will present and discuss their experiences with managing international shipping at their various research institutions. The discussion will primarily focus on processes, procedures, and methods that can be used in tackling international shipping at your institution. Speakers will not only touch on the pros and cons of centralized shipping solutions they have experience with, but will also provide insights into the collaborations they developed amongst pertinent institutional stakeholders to manage decentralized international shipping processes.
