2014 International Conference on Logistics and Maritime Systems, Rotterdam

The 4th International Conference on Logistics and Maritime Systems will be held in at Erasmus University from 27 to 29 August 2014. The objective of this conference is to provide a platform for exchanging ideas on the latest developments in the field of logistics and maritime systems among participants from universities and related industries, and to seek opportunities for collaboration among the participants.

Logistics activities worldwide have intensified in the wake of globalisation and increased international trade. As a result, global supply chain networks are becoming more complex as they typically involve maritime transport, inland waterways and onshore road and rail transportation systems.

The first conference of this series took place in Busan, Korea in 2010. It integrated various predecessor conferences like the International Conference on Intelligent Logistics Systems (IILS), and the Maritime Logistics (MLOG) conference. Later LOGMS conferences were held in Bremen (2012) and Singapore (2013).

The conference will be co-chaired by René de Koster, Professor of Logistics and Operations Management at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM) Rommert Dekker, Professor of Econometrics (Operations Research and Informatics) at Erasmus School of Economics.
