The Centre for Logistics and Transport (ZLV) brings together a variety of chairs for the interdisciplinary conception, management and transfer of scientific work related to global supply chains, logistics, mobility and transport from different departments of the University of Duisburg-Essen. ZLV is oriented towards innovations that are sustainable in the long term, economically beneficial, and ecologically and socially compatible. Our vision is to become an internationally recognised knowledge generation and transfer centre for excellent and innovative transdisciplinary research on global sustainable supply chains, logistics and mobility in a multi-level governance system.
