The 17th CEMS SCM Research Seminar and CEMS Logistics Faculty Group meeting took place with the participation of the Department of Logistics.

From 22 to 26 January, an annual meeting of Ph.D. students and academics from CEMS schools was held in Riezlern, Austria. Members of these schools focus on supply chain management, logistics, and transport. Altogether 27 representatives from 14 universities attended – besides the University of Economics, academics and Ph.D. students from e.g. Copenhagen Business School, Finnish Aalto University, Rotterdam School of Management – Erasmus University, University of Cologne or Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien. In addition to discussing the presented research of the participants, this professional event serves as a platform for the implementation of joint publishing activities, submission of transnational research projects, teacher and student mobility.
