Call for papers 2008
Dear Colleagues
Announcement: ELA Doctorate Workshop 2008, 25-28 June
The thirteenth ELA doctorate workshop will take place in Grainau, Germany from 25 to 27/28 June 2008.
I would like to invite you to propose one doctoral student at your university, who could contribute to this workshop with an interesting doctoral research project within logistics. All fields of logistics in the broadest sense are of interest.
The nominated student is requested to prepare a three-page paper containing a brief description of the project (research objectives, methodology, expected results, list of references etc.) and submit the proposal before 20 February 2008.
The application should also include a short letter of recommendation from the PhD supervisor or Head of the Department (this letter can follow after the proposal if necessary). More information about ELA and the previous doctorate workshops can be found at ELA's homepage
The ELA Research and Development Committee will evaluate the submitted papers and invite about 20 doctoral students to participate in the workshop. Between 8 and 10 of the papers will be selected for formal presentation at the workshop. Three experienced logistics professors from Europe will participate as advisors and moderators during the workshop.
Accommodation and meals will be free for all the invited doctoral students. Travel costs have to be paid by the participants themselves. The ELA doctorate workshop can be highly recommended. It is an excellent opportunity for doctoral students from all over Europe to meet and establish a valuable network.
Please send the paper as an attached document in Word to the organiser of the workshop this year:
