The main objective of the LOGMASTER project is to develop a joint master study programme framework for Supply Chain Management and Logistics to cope with the requirements in terms of competencies of the ELA qualification standards. Other specific objectives, derived from this one, are: - to provide a new modern educational programme using the most advanced digital education tools designed for top management positions in supply chain management and logistics; - to develop a cutting-edge supply chain management and logistics curriculum, applying modern teaching/learning methods involving digitalisation; - to develop student-centred approaches and flexible educational pathways fostering the competency-based education system - to enhance cooperation among HEIs, logistics training associations, certification bodies and enterprises in the fields of logistics higher education and digital education supporting the flow and exchange of knowledge from the academia to the supply chain and logistics sector.
We applied to this project to tackle various challenges within the education system that pertain to the supply chain and logistics sector as follows: 1. Harmonization of the logistics higher education to become more competency-based and able to respond to the requirements of the industry and aligned to the international standards for qualifications in the Supply Chain Management field 2. Digitalization to a higher extent in logistic education for a more competency-based education using digital tools such as AR/VR, gamification, and project-based learning. Digital transformation has transformed society and the economy with an ever-deepening impact on everyday life. 3. A more significant inclusion of women in logistics higher education to facilitate their path towards a management position in supply chain management.
