The Journal of Humanitarian Logistics and Supply Chain Management, published by Emerald, is a peer- reviewed academic journal, which was launched in 2011 to meet the need for a journal dedicated to this vitally important field. This will be the first ``special issue'' for publication within the journal and, as such, emphasizes the vital importance of education and training within the field as a whole.
