Miscellaneous

Jo van Nunen is chairman of the Department of Decision and Information Sciences at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University. He is also program leader of the research program on logistics and information systems, which is a joint program with the Technical University Delft and Erasmus University Rotterdam. He is scientific director of a national research programme on "Transition to Sustainable Mobility" and of the Academic Centre for Transport. Currently his research focuses on close loop supply chains and ICT applications in logistics. Many of the research projects he is involved in are co-operations with private companies and governmental organisations. As can be expected logistic organisations in the Port of Rotterdam are an important source of inspiration for this research.
