"Emerging Technologies for Logistics and Business " is a comprehensive curriculum unit designed for Phd programs that focus on staying at the forefront of disruptive technologies. In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, integrating cutting-edge technologies is crucial for organizations to thrive and adapt to the ever-changing market dynamics. This course aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate and leverage emerging technologies effectively in the realms of logistics and business.

Graph theory is a powerful tool for modeling many real-life problems including logistics problems such as scheduling, assignment, routing and network design.In this course we start by giving an introduction to graph theory concepts and applications. Special weight is given to the computational representation of graphs. Then, several classic problems in graph theory are studied in detail. Each problem is formally defined and several lemmas and theorems on properties of the problem at hand are proved. These lemmas and theorems then lead to algorithms to handle the studied problem.

"Researching the operations and supply chains of charities"

The choice and execution of a research design is arguably one of the toughest decisions researchers face, as it involves making several trade-offs and coming to terms with the fact that no research design is perfect. This is particularly true for the social sciences and business disciplines, as constructs can be operationalized in many different ways, several concurrent factors/explanations tend to be relevant, and inferences drawn can be subjective. Additionally, knowledge is constantly evolving, with new studies questioning and adding to prior knowledge. Thus, for development as a top researcher, one must have a sound understanding and appreciation of the main tools of the trade.

Supply chains drives the economy and global markets. The push towards digitalization and circular economy has intensified the need for interoperability, transparency, and trust in supply chains. This can potentially be facilitated by Blockchain technologies.  This PhD-course presents blockchain fundamentals and current research on blockchain applications in SCM. It offers an opportunity to explore the scientific literature and write a working paper as a group effort under guidance of lecturers.
