6. Elogmar-m Review Meeting, Shenzen, P.R. China 31/03/06 Institutions involved in education in logistics Public HEIs – University, University of Technology, Academy of Economy, scientific institutes e.g. IFF – Fraunhofer Geselschaft full courses, short courses, distant learning, some also vocational training both for profit and non-profit e.g. – Transport and Telecommunication Non-public (private) –Institute (Latvia), International High School of Logistics and Transport (Poland) - undergrads courses, short courses and distant learning Logistcs - subject in High Schools of management, business and economy, some international Educational companies - short courses, vocational training and distant learning

7. Elogmar-m Review Meeting, Shenzen, P.R. China 31/03/06 Details of logistics educations in public HEIs 1.Logistics - at Universities of Technology MSc in Engineering (Transport, Automation and Robotics, Computer, Mechanical), Management, Economy, e.g. RTU, KUT, WUT, NTUA, TU Crete, Chalmers, Eindhoven, NTNU, DTU, Budapest UT, Cranfield, Newcastle, Alabama A&M, Arkansas, Beijing, Shanghai, Dalian, Shenzhen etc. Case study 1 – Warsaw University of Technology, Department of Transport 2.Logistics - at Universities and Academies of Economy as part of studies in Management and Economy e.g. University of International Business and Economy (UIBE), SGH, OvG, AUEB) Case study 2- Warsaw Academy of Economics (SGH), Department of Management, Chair of Logistics, Specialisation – Logistic Management 3. Logistics is offered at some National Defence Academies – little is known (secret?)

8. Elogmar-m Review Meeting, Shenzen, P.R. China 31/03/06 Logistics education at non-public HEIs and educational companies Undegraduate level – general logistics, management logistics, services logistics Post-diploma courses – logistics of international supply chains, logistics system management (production, distribution, warehousing) Distant learning – all sorts of logistics related issues Vocational training – basic level

9. Elogmar-m Review Meeting, Shenzen, P.R. China 31/03/06 Short courses and vocational training University based – usually general, post- diploma, longer (month, semester) Company based – specific, correlated with the needs of the company, shorter (day, week) Distant (e-, m-) learning – becoming more and more popular – a major means for short courses and vocational training of the future, timing not so critical (adaptive)
