The recent evolution and pervasiveness of modern digital technologies, which characterize the new productive and economic paradigms thanks to their cognitive and connectivity potential, deeply modifies the operating context and the role of the engineer in the industry. The companies are looking for well educated professionals, to make a difference in their organization by consistently delivering value by maintaining the system vision, enabling correct technical decisions, supporting the business cases, and enabling cooperation and diversity. Therefore, in order to meet the needs of the changing labour market, and to fill the gap in education at the Master's level in logistics engineering the International University of Logistics and Transport in Wrocław (Poland), University of Lorraine (France), Polytechnic School of Agadir (Morocco) and University of Messina (Italy) decided to establish a consortium that will jointly develop an integrated transnational study programme that will prepare highly qualified employees in the logistics and transport sector. In preparing the programme, the experience and extraordinary expertise of the consortium members in three areas: logistics (IULT), computer science and engineering (UL), training and research (Universiapolis) and engineering and technology (UniME). The implementation of the project will contribute to the development of a study programme unique on a European scale, increasing the internationalization and competitiveness of the universities, as well as the possibility of developing cooperation between the universities and the socio-economic environment.
