Jack Short is the Secretary General of the International Transport Forum. The International Transport Forum was set up by Transport Ministers of 51 countries in 2006 to foster global strategic discussions on Transport for Ministers, key industry and societal actors. The International Transport Forum is the ‘successor’ to the ECMT which acted for many years as a "Think Tank" for Transport Ministries. It has a Secretariat of 25 people and is administratively part of the OECD in Paris.
He is also the Director of the Joint OECD/ITF Transport Research Center, which was set up in 2004.
He joined the ECMT in 1984 and was Deputy Secretary General from 1993 to 2001. Previously he worked for the Ministries of Transport and Finance in Ireland and in Transport Research.
Ministers appointed him in 2006 to lead the major reform to transform the ECMT into the International Transport Forum which will have broader scope and new mandates. The Forum, which was formally launched by Ministers in 2007, will be held in Leipzig, Germany from 2008.
Mr. Short was educated at University College, Cork, and Trinity College, Dublin where he obtained Masters degrees in Mathematics and Statistics.
He has given papers and presentations — many of which are available on both the International Transport Forum and ECMT web sites — on a wide range of transport topics at international conferences and meetings.
