About the Program

We are excited to invite academic partners to the 5th Introductory Train-the-Trainer (TTT) Program on Logistics and Supply Chain Management. This training is designed for two faculty members from each university who have not previously attended TTT training.

Led by internationally recognized experts and practitioners, the seminar is based on materials developed by LICA and Learn Logistics by Kühne Foundation. Upon successful completion, participants will have the option to obtain an international certificate.
