Shaping Transformation Together
Together with KLU Kühne Logistics University, the Hamburg Logistics Initiative has launched the Hamburg Circle of Professors for Logistics (HHLOP). The aim is to promote and strengthen the networking between academia and industry. To this end, the professors from the Hamburg metropolitan region meet several times a year to exchange ideas and collaborate.
Topics at the Circle of Professors for Logistics
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.
Participation in the Circle of Professors for Logistics
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.
If you have any questions about the Professors’ Forum, feel free to contact us. As well if there are any professors missing from the list.
