Urban Logistics

About

This one-week summer school features a series of interactive morning lectures covering topics such as the contextualization of urban logistics, examination of emerging trends, quantitative analysis of urban logistics subjects, evaluation of solutions, and a dedicated practitioners' day.

Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to gain real-world insights through two excursions to the Flemish urban logistics scene. Complementing the lectures, workshops will provide a space to process and apply the learnings from this comprehensive programme.

Target group

The course welcomes all students, practitioners and policymakers interested in urban logistics. Multi-disciplinary participation is strongly welcomed. Students should be attending at least a Master or PhD program, and therefore have obtained a Bachelor's degree already. For practitioners and policymakers, this requirement does not apply.
