About the project

Industry 5.0 and smart logistics are key enablers of a sustainable future and are strategic priorities for both Norway and partner countries. This project aims to strengthen research and education by establishing a long-term international partnership in sustainable and human-centric logistics. By combining complementary expertise, the project will build a platform for responsible knowledge development, educational innovation, and international collaboration to support the green and human-centric transition of the logistics sector.

The project will enhance research-based education and internationalization through the development of new educational modules, increased student mobility, joint supervision, and collaborative academic activities between Norway and partner institutions in China and Canada. It contributes to the Panorama strategy and the UTFORSK Programme through the following outcomes:

1. The latest research results exploring the roadmap to Agenda 2030 in the logistics sector.
2. Mutual student exchanges.
3. Joint development and integration of new courses with the aim of enhancing students' employability.
4. Short-term staff visits for research cooperation.
5. Student-involved research-based education through co-supervisions. 
6. Summer schools, short-term mobility, and virtual mobility.
