The global economic development puts all fields of the supply chain up against new logistic challenges. Therefore the scope of topics presented at the EULOG conference in Salzburg on May 10-11 was very broad and ranged from bike sharing, warehouse and production optimization to the dispatching of freight wagons. HEAL researcher Monika Kofler was invited to present recent scientific and practical advances in warehouse optimization that our group developed within the Josef Ressel Centre Heureka! in close cooperation with Rosenbauer International and voestalpine.

In addition, many of our long-time scientific partners and associates, such as Efrem Lengauer (Logistikum research), Bruno Bliem (RISC Software GmbH) as well as em. o. Univ.-Prof. Günther Zäpfel, Michael Bögl and Stefanie Kritzinger (PLM, Johannes Kepler University Linz) held speeches at the conference.
