Together with TKI Dinalog, three technical universities have launched a series of workshops with the objective of bringing together young PhD students and a selected number of international experts. Focus and scope of the Winterschool. In the Winterschool we bring together scientists from different disciplines within the area of Freight Transport, Logistics and Supply Chain Management to stimulate the interaction between the disciplines.
