10th annual SC&LM workshop
Supply Chain Analysis and Sustainability
March 31st, 2025
Our flagship event, organized by Prof. Dr. M. Ali Ülkü, this series of annual Supply Chain and Logistics Management (SCLM) workshops not only brings in distinguished academics and industry leaders to share their knowledge on the latest trends and cutting-edge research and best practices in SCLM but also provides an excellent opportunity to cross-pollinate ideas and network with academics, practitioners, and students in a collegial environment while showcasing students' accomplishments in research and industry-partnered experiential learning projects.
