We are happy to give you the opportunity to meet with each other within the EFLE network – although on-line – during the first EFLE on-line conference on Wednesday, October 7 and Thursday, October 8.
The organizing committee felt, that it is very important to keep up with the annual tradition of meeting our partners and that’s why we embraced the facilities to organize a virtual on-line conference.
We hope that we can offer a versatile programme including current best practices in learning, recent research results as well as a discussion about EFLE as an association and next year’s conference in Breda, NL.
During several EFLE meeting future competencies
for logisticians were on the (formal and informal) agenda.
In 2014 (Emmen) colleague Kees Elbers
introduced us to new developments concerning the logistics curriculum (based on
future requirements for logisticians) and started a discussion in our forum
about this issue.
A group of EFLE members (Daniela Tanhua, Burkhard Schmager, Nick Hubbard, Anne- Chantal Drain, Karen Van Bastelaere, Lene Buhl, and Jan Jansen) developed during the last 5 EFLE meetings (2015: Madrid, 2016: Hasselt, 2017: Besancon-Vesoul, and 2018: Rotterdam) a project called “Future Competencies for Logisticians”.
Now a pilot group started: SAMK, HOGENT and
HAN with three students (Ha, Lisa and Lin). The students are studying logistics
at SAMK, HOGENT and HAN and they are going to use this research for their
graduation projects.
EFLE 2018 will be hosted by Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences (RUAS) and will be held in Rotterdam from 9 until 12 October 2018. The overall topic will be “Innovations in Ports”. There will be several speakers from the Port Authority and innovative companies, combined with excursions to the port. View the complete programme on our website.
