Welcome to the ICLS 2020-2021

The call for papers encourages authors to contribute to current research on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on logistics and supply chain management. The supply chain disruptions due to the lockdown have triggered a need for new strategies and solutions. A big transformation globally has been the shift in selling directly to customers. The increased demand for e-commerce has been motivation for contactless last mile solutions. The new technologies have facilitated business operations and communication, when shortages of staff and movement restrictions have occurred. The impact of the COVID -19 Pandemic on logistics and supply chain management is not fully known. Therefore, we encourage authors to contribute to the scientific discussion on the challenges and opportunities of the COVID-19 World during the ICLS 2020-2021 conference. It is our pleasure to invite scholars and practitioners around the world to participate in the 15th International Congress of Logistics and SCM Systems (ICLS 2020-2021) to be held on September 28~29, 2021 virtually in Poznan, Poland. It is organized by the Faculty of Engineering Management, Poznan University of Technology (www.put.poznan.pl)  and co-organized by the International Federation of Logistics & SCM Systems (IFLS).
