Hamburg logistics professorium

Connecting science and industry

Shaping Transformation Together

Together with KLU Kühne Logistics University, the Hamburg Logistics Initiative has launched the Hamburg Logistics Professorship (HHLOP). The aim is to promote and intensify networking between academia and industry. To this end, the relevant professors from the Hamburg metropolitan region meet several times a year.

In collaboration with the KLU Kühne Logistics University, the Logistics-Initiative Hamburg has established the Hamburg Logistics Professors' Forum (HHLOP). The goal is to advance and strengthen the networking among scientists themselves and with the business community. Participating professors from the Hamburg metropolitan area meet several times a year to exchange ideas and collaborate.

The focus of the professorship varies from session to session and is orientated towards current developments and research questions. For example, the following topics have been covered in the past:

  •  Intelligent Transport Systems & Digital Administration
  •  Drones in Logistics
  •  Innovation Programme of the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure
  •  Effects of the transition to electromobility on freight flows within Germany
  •  Urban Transition
  •  The Regional Innovation Strategy of the City of Hamburg
  •  "Hamburg Quantum Innovation Capital" initiative & "Rymax One" project
  •  Military Logistics - Selected Examples

Since 2024, meetings are no longer held according to a rigid numerical scheme. Instead, the Professorium is opening up to a new, freer format that offers space for spontaneous discussions, creative ideas and innovative approaches.

Professors from the Hamburg metropolitan region who are involved in logistics in the broadest sense in teaching and/or research are eligible to participate. Invitations are personalised and are issued via LIHH and KLU. External guests are invited by the organisers for individual appointments.
