The conference focused on contemporary development trends and challenges for logistics and supply chain management. The inaugural session drew attention to issues such as the transdisciplinarity of logistics, the impact of AI on logistics management and the sustainable transformation of logistics management. Four thematic sessions were devoted to challenges for supply chain management, air cargo transport, the transformation of urban areas, and military logistics in the context of ongoing geopolitical changes.
The conference participants included outstanding representatives of the national academic community from several research centres dealing with logistics and business, as well as representatives of other institutions where logistics activities are carried out.
Marek Matwiejuk, General Manager Poland Domestic & CEE Shorthaul C.H. Robinson, with a speech on 鈥淥ptimising the supply chain using modern technologies鈥� and Prof. Per Engelseth from UiT The Arctic University of Norway with a speech entitled 鈥淚s aquaponics a disruptive innovation in food supply networks?鈥� were special guests of the event.
