the Interdisciplinary Conference on Production, Logistics and Traffic (ICPLT) is going for its fifth continuation. Organized by TU Darmstadt and TU Dortmund in a 2-year alternating turn the conference offers opportunity to present and discuss recent and exciting topics from the areas of production, logistics and traffic with scientists and business experts.

The 5th ICPLT takes place on 17th + 18th March 2021. Due to the on-going pandemic situation the organizational committee has decided to shift the conference into the virtual sphere! Contributions and participation at the conference are therefore free of charge. You can contribute to the conference by handing in an extended abstract (~1500 words) with the deadline being 31st October 2020.

Further information can be found on our conference website www.icplt.org!

Kind regards,

the organizational committee of the 5th Interdisciplinary Conference on Production, Logistics and Traffic

We herewith invite you to take part in the survey: “Resilience of your supply chain in times of COVID-19”.

The final Action Plan of the Mobility4EU project (www.mobility4eu.eu) funded by the European Commission has been released.

You would like to become ELA Certified based on the ELAQF Standards but you don't know for sure what level you would do the assessment for. Or you can see a career change and want to prepare yourself for this by taking some courses but what are the disciplines within Supply Chain that you need to tackle. For these cases ELA developed an online tool, free of charge and to be used for everybody:

"Mind the Gap"

ELA aims to provide an international forum for networking, promotion and development of the logistics and supply chain profession.

ELA formulates European Logistics Standards and encourages the acceptance of these standards on an international basis.
