Revisit the first digital ‘Corona-proof’ Urban Logistics Summer School

For the first time ever, the Department of Transport and Regional Economics TPR (UAntwerp) organised the digital, ‘Corona-proof’ version of the Summer School on Urban Logistics. 

Summer School on Urban Logistics

The Summer School offers its participants an intensive immersion into the world of urban logistics, based on an introductory module covering all aspects of urban logistics and an optional assignment preparation week, focusing on innovation and sustainability in the industry in all its facets.

The course welcomes all students, practitioners and policymakers interested in urban logistics. 

Panel Urban Logistics Policies

The lectures consisted of presentations on training schemes and implementations in cities and urban areas. Prof. Roel Gevaers also moderated a panel discussion about Urban Logistics and Urban Logistics policies. 

Several opinions were expressed, but all participants shared one particular view : “A good urban logistics action plan is all about good stakeholder management”.

The panelists were Alderman Koen Kennis (Stad Antwerpen), Prof. Dr. Tom O’Brien (METRANS Transportation Center),  Frederic Keymeulen (Transport & Logistiek Vlaanderen),  Ian Kerr (Last Mile Prophets) and  Dr. Ivan Cardenas  (UAntwerp).
