The conference addresses an audience concerned with the disciplines production, logistics and traffic, including spatial and transport planning, which is interested in discussing scientific and application-oriented approaches. Practitioners, politicians, representatives of public authorities and researchers from production, logistics and traffic are invited to benefit from the conference as a platform for knowledge-exchange and transfer.

During the two-day conference, distinguished speakers will address selected interdisciplinary topics in key notes. Designated innovative research and practice approaches will be presented in 30-minute talks during parallel sessions. In addition, the best contributions to the conference will be awarded. Furthermore, there is plenty of opportunity to network, especially at the conference dinner which will be hosted at the end of the first conference day.

The focus of the conference is on (but not limited to) the following interdisciplinary topics related to Production, Logistics and Traffic:
