The PhD School on Sustainable Supply Chains offers an active forum for PhD students and early career researchers to enhance their knowledge in facilitating Operations Research methods for sustainable supply chain management, especially from a multi-criteria (triple bottom line) and an interdisciplinary (life cycle sustainability assessment, circular economy) perspective. It is organized by the EURO Working Group on Sustainable Supply Chains (EWG-SSC) in cooperation with the Chair of Production and Logistics Management, FernUniversität in Hagen and co-sponsored by the Association of European Operational Research Societies (EURO), the German OR Society (GOR), and FernUniversität in Hagen.
Target Audience: PhD Students striving to enhance their knowledge in sustainable supply chain management; motivated to develop OR tools that support decision making towards sustainable supply; wanting to discuss and present research ideas on the topic. Motivated early career researchers may also be accepted if places are available.
Program Contents: In-class lectures, tutorials, and supervised training on selected topics at the interface of Operations Research and sustainable supply chains; opportunity to discuss own PhD research with peers and expert (guests) lecturers from the field; supervised work on case studies – solutions developed by participants will be presented in front of an expert panel at the end of the summer school.
