1. Tomorrow’s logistics. We are finding the answers.
More than 80 researchers
Research centre for sustainable logistics solutions
Five core research groups
This slide can be used by itself or as the first slide in a series.
Important messages:
Northern LEAD is a collaboration between the two universities in Gothenburg.
The researchers come from several disciplines
The common denominator is logistics
There are five core research groups involved:
Logistics and transportation
Physical distribution
Industrial marketing and purchasing
Production logistics
Optimization
Northern LEAD acts as
An organiser. We coordinate large, complex projects across departmental and university boundaries, often involving several researchers.
A facilitator. We assist the researchers in finding projects, formulating ideas, matchmaking with potential partners and applying for funding
A disseminator. We package and distribute research results to the industry and to the authorities.
Organises, facilitates, disseminates highly relevant logisitic research
Collaboration between
Chalmers and University of Gothenburg

2. Core areas Business relationships and network
Purchasing and supply networks
Distribution structures and strategies
Manufacturing planning and control
Materials handling
Intermodal transport
Mathematical optimisation
Transport and logistics services
ICT/ITS
Our research is based on the following nine core competence areas.
Our researchers are working on emerging problems, the solutions to which demand long experience, deep knowledge, and a collaborative approach.
