“Logistics challenges in the modern world”
organized by the Institute of Management, Warsaw University of Life Sciences
Dear Colleagues,
Logistics is essential in the modern world. Virtually all activities related to economic activity and people, to a greater or lesser extent, require logistical activities. Logistics involves many different activities. Since it is so important for the proper functioning of the economy and society, it requires constant improvement. These changes take place simultaneously in many areas of logistics activity. That is why companies specialize in a given section. Of course, there are also tendencies towards comprehensive provision of logistics services by one entity. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic posed a major challenge and also helped to dynamise the changes taking place in the area of logistics operations. A large number of logistics activities, different pace and directions of their development, and a very dynamic environment make it necessary to collect and systematize knowledge about the condition, directions and perspectives of logistics development in the modern world. Therefore, we cordially invite you to the conference, the purpose of which is to present the scientific achievements, practical experiences and exchange views on the directions of logistics development, both in Poland, in Europe and the world.
