During this Colloquium PhD students and their advisors from all over the world will visit CLI for concentrated sessions of collaborative work in the area of logistics and supply chain. CLI researchers, University Partners and industry partners will be invited to participate on this exchange.

• Interaction with GC-LOG students. During the summer session, doctoral activities will be scheduled to allow GC-LOG students to interact with PhD students enabling exchange of ideas as well as introducing GC-LOG students to world class research.
