Introduction
The Summer School, “Digital Supply Chains and Logistics Management,” returns dynamically this year for the fourth time, renewed, offering a unique educational experience from June 30 to July 4, 2025, in Thessaloniki. With the support of EIT Urban Mobility, the Hellenic Institute of Transport (HIT) of the Center for Research & Technology (CERTH) and the Laboratory of Supply Chain Management of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (LASCM/AUTh), organize the 4th Summer School titled:
“CityMinds: Empowering Innovation & Entrepreneurship knowledge towards Urban mobility transformation”
Description
This year's Summer School is aimed at undergraduate STEM students and focuses on developing the necessary skills and knowledge to co-design innovative and smart solutions to address real urban mobility and supply chain problems.
The program includes:
- Theoretical lectures by distinguished speakers (entrepreneurship, innovation & technology, digital logistics, city logistics, smart sustainable mobility, living labs)
- Site visits in selected industries and organisations
- Co-design workshops
- Students group projects presented on a pitching event
- Awards for the best projects!
The site visits aim to integrate theory with real challenges and identify mobility and supply chain problems that the students will try to address through their group projects. The workshops, based on the design thinking approach, will help students develop their business solutions. Through guidance lectures and design workshops, students will learn how to successfully present their ideas. The Thessaloniki Living Lab plays a vital role in this process, offering practical value to innovation.
The academic community, research institutes, and industry join forces to offer a true learning experience, from “idea to market”
