We are proud to announce that the second Summer School on Emerging Concepts of Logistics (ECoL) will take place in August 2016 in Duisburg. Master and PhD candidates, Post-Docs as well as practitioners are invited to discuss innovations in the interdisciplinary and service-oriented field of logistics during a seven-days programme, touching upon a variety of topics regarding “Port of the Future”. The ECoL network aims at integrating neighboring disciplines; this means one does not necessarily have to be an educated logistician in order to apply for admission to the ECoL Summer School.

The summer school will take place from the 21st to the 27th of August 2016 in Duisburg. The idea to connect experts on Emerging Concepts of Logistics evolved within the EU-project LOG4GREEN. This undertaking as a so called Regions of Knowledge initiative was set up to develop a joint research agenda on sustainable logistics. Now through ECoL, the groundbreaking collaboration of several European research projects will be made accessible to a wider audience and to extended expert groups. The long term goal of the ECoL network is to initiate and strengthen partnerships and therefore to intensify research on ECoL topics.

ECoL Summer School 2016 is conjointly organised by Koç University, Istanbul, and the University of Duisburg-Essen.
