For the 2nd year in a row, the Summer School continues and enhances its offer with state-of-the-art advances and trends in digital supply chain including digital infrastructures, digital sourcing, production and transportation management and digital demand management. Last year, the Summer School focused on Digital Supply Chain and Innovation adoption. This year’s structure will focus more on the Entrepreneurship. For this reason, two days of the Summer School will be co-organized with a Commercialization Seminar – Introduction to Entrepreneurship and Digital Supply Chains. This year's Special Issues will be City Logistics focusing on a) industry best practices and b) how the Digitalization in Supply Chains facilitates the development of sustainable city logistics schemes.
The Commercialization Seminar of this year is co-organized with the Summer School in Advanced Material Systems by Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AuTh), giving the opportunity to the participants of the Digital Supply Chain & Logistics Management Summer School to contact with the research community of a different research field.
The aim of this five-day Summer School is to familiarize graduate students with state-of-the-art advances and trends in digital supply chain including digital infrastructures, digital sourcing, production and transportation management and digital demand management with a special focus on City Logistics (1 day). This course will strive to evaluate current trends, growth opportunities, global patterns and niche markets, within the area of Digital Logistics and City Logistics. In fulfilling these objectives, the course will use a holistic approach, and rely on seminars from expert guest lecturers and practitioners from industrial supporters. The target audience includes graduate students, graduates and junior researchers (MSc, PhD students, postdocs) pursuing careers involving Operations, Business Logistics and Management, or just interested in learning more about new research trends and challenges as well as best business practices in the field.
The scope of the summer school is to establish a communication, knowledge-based grid that will:
Advance research in digital supply chains and physical internet
Provide students with global research and international leadership experience
Contribute to the transformation and advancement of supply chain education to all participants
Illustrate students on real-word aspects related to digital supply chain management and engineering
Provide students with basic principles of entrepreneurship
Illustrate students with detailed knowledge on City Logistics for developing sustainable city logistics plans
Thessaloniki is the second largest city in Greece, one of the oldest in Europe extending over 12 km along the shore of the Thermaicos Gulf. Thessaloniki is one of the Greek cities with the richest histories, and following the end of the First Balkan War has been considered the most influential city in Macedonia. It is a dazzling and lively city with a centuries-long history.
Thessaloniki lies on the northern fringe of the Thermaicos Gulf on its eastern coast and is bound by Mount Chortiatis on its southeast. The metropolitan area of the city extends around an area of 1,455.62 km2 (562.02 sq mi), which includes many beachside and hilly suburbs, while its densest part, which makes up the urban area of the city and what Thessalonians usually refer to as the "City of Thessaloniki", can be divided roughly into 3 parts, the northwestern, the central and the southeastern.

Just like last year, DSCLM is co-organized by CERTH/HIT and AuTh. The first two days of the School (6-7 July) includes the Commercialization Seminar – Introduction to Entrepreneurship & Digital Supply Chains. The following three days of the School (8-10 July), include lectures from experienced instructors coming from academia as well as industry. In the last day, specific focus is given on the subject of City Logistics, by presenting industry examples and related topics from highly experienced instructors.
The typical daily schedule of the School includes topic presentation sessions in morning, in which the instructors will outline the state of the art regarding the specific topic as well as future trends and challenges. In the afternoon, managers from industry will present their related experience and will interact with the students. These meeting up with the industry sessions could be combined with industrial visits in the wider Thessaloniki region. Finally, the daily schedule close with a lab session where the students will work in groups on different project assignments. These student projects will be presented on an open session on Friday afternoon.
Interactions among participants is fundamental to achieve the full potential of the Summer School and social activities will be planned to provide ample opportunity to exchange experiences and ideas as well as to initiate collaborations that could be fostered in the future. A continuous educational assessment of the courses ascertains the high quality of the summer school.
