Midterm Conference NWO Logistics Knowledge Community

The aim of the conference is to bring together the community of researchers and partners in the project consortia, as well as experts from the Topsector Logistiek, TKI Dinalog, programme committee members, and some other relevant stakeholders.

In one day you will be able to:

• inform yourself on the progress of the projects of the programmes Vitale Logistiek, Duurzame Logistiek, ISCOM, Accelerator, TKI Toeslag and Sustainable Logistics and Supply Chains (ERA-net Transport);
• get insight in the envisaged end results of the projects;
• discover common ground and opportunities for synergy and cooperation;
• identify possible topics that are not covered yet and new knowledge questions for future research.

The conference will be the perfect opportunity to discuss the results from over 45 research projects so far in several thematic tracks, to find synergy between them and to get to know each other.
