The FSR C&M is organising, in collaboration with the CRRI Centre at the Rutgers Business School, the 24th Conference on Postal and Delivery Economics.
This world leading Conference is open to academics, representatives from companies, regulatory authorities, public institutions, sector-specific associations and consultancies active in the postal and delivery eco-system. The aim of the event is to tackle the various crucial topics animating the debate in postal and delivery economics and regulation.
“The Changing Postal and Delivery Sector”, edited by Michael A. Crew, Pier Luigi Parcu and Timothy Brennan and collecting a selection of peer reviewed papers presented at the Conference.
During the 24th Conference on Postal and Delivery Economics, Mr Alex Pigot (CEO of Addressing the Unaddressed) presented the GO-Line project. This is a humanitarian initiative that aims at helping the approximately 1 billion people living in slums without a unique postal address, and an uncounted number of people having an address which is an unnumbered dwelling in a rural village or simply a PO box. More precisely, through the introduction of a new address element – the GO-line (a code that represents the geo coordinates of a single building), the project aims at ensuring unique addresses for citizens.
