Project name: Proposal for pilot projects of the University of Maribor for a green and resilient transition to society 5.0 – Establishing an environment for education in green and digital logistics and supply chains Project acronym: NOO

Project financer:  Ministry of education, science and sport

Time frame: 1. 9. 2022 – 30. 8. 2025

Project coordinator: University of Maribor

Brief summary of the project:

According to a study by the European Environment Agency, global logistics should account for up to 40% of global CO2 emissions, of which the transport sector accounts for 24%. Employees in the logistics sector, decision-makers, and students leaving higher education were not prepared for such challenges. The education of logisticians is based mainly on the competencies, knowledge and skills according to the ELA standard, which was last updated in 2014. We are renewing the study programs, but we do not know which competencies are fundamental for the green and digital transition of logistics and supply chains in terms of content, norms and infrastructure and transfer it to decision-makers, employees and other interested parties.
