Project description
Scholarly excellence in human-centred logistics
Vilnius Gediminas Technical University is dedicated to enhancing its research and innovation capacities in human-centred logistics systems for the future. This objective necessitates close collaboration with leading research institutions internationally. The EU-funded X-HuLog4.0 project will forge partnerships with esteemed institutions such as NTNU, TUDa, and USAAR to develop strategies for enhancing capabilities and fostering networks that align with Vilnius Gediminas Technical University’s aspirations in human-centred logistics systems. The overarching goal is to attain scientific excellence, bolster research and educational capacities in human-centred logistics at VILNIUS TECH and its affiliated partners, and facilitate knowledge transfer across Europe. It will achieve these objectives by enhancing research and academic prowess, fostering networking opportunities, and raising awareness among industry and society stakeholders.
Objective
X-HuLog4.0 addresses the scope of the WIDERA 2023-ACCESS 02-01: TWINNING under the priority “spreading excellence and widening participation”. The project establishes cooperation with internationally leading research institutions – NTNU, TUDa and USAAR – and allows defining strategies for building capabilities and establishing networks that help Vilnius Gediminas Technical University to advance their R&I capabilities in human-centered logistics systems of the future (X-HuLog4.0).
The objective of the project entitled X-HuLog4.0 – Excellence in human-centered logistics 4.0 is to fully realize and further develop the existing scientific potential of the widening partners VILNIUS TECH aiming at scientific excellence in human-centered logistics systems of the future. While the focus is on the widening partners, the project also enables the other partners to deepen their knowledge in this field and to contribute to the advancement and adoption of X-HuLog4.0 results across Europe.
To this purpose, X-HuLog4.0 intends to:
- increase the research and educational capabilities in Human-centered Logistics at VILNIUS TECH at the supporting partners;
- establish a long-term knowledge transfer between the contributing parties with a special focus on young-stage researchers;
- encourage the connection among researchers of the partner universities and other leading research institutes and promote networking;
- enable VILNIUS TECH to act as knowledge centres providing modern methodologies, logistic tools and solutions in the area of human-centered logistics to transfer knowledge to the widening and associated countries;
- increase the industry and society awareness on human-centered logistics and the value of a close collaboration with academia;
- foster scientific developments through increases in the number of publications, patents, participation in research programs, and new products or services development.
